the

critical

it..

often
necessary,

a
right
to

fully
informed

in
contemporary

more
important
than
knowledge

field
92

stand
on
ground
that
modern

precedence
over
the
preservation
of
historic
buildings
95
76. The
best
way
for
a
society
to
prepare
its
young
people
for
leadership
in
government,
industry,
or
other
fields
is
by
instilling
in
them
a
sense
of
cooperation,
not
competition...
97
Some
people
argue
that
successful
leaders
in
government,
industry,
or
other
fields
must
be
highly
competitive.
Other
people
claim
that
in
order
to
be

a
leader

cooperate

people
believe
that
corporations
have
a
responsibility
to
promote
the

the
only
responsibility
of

operate
within

law,
is
to
make
as
much
money
as
possible.
98
78. Some
people
believe
that
our
ever-increasing
use
of
technology
significantly
reduces
our
opportunities
for
human
interaction.
Other

believe

provides
us
with
new
and
better
ways
to
communicate
and
connect
with
one
another.
99
79. Claim:
Major
policy
decisions
should
always
be
left
to
politicians
and
other
government
experts.
Reason:
Politicians
and
other
government
experts
are
more
informed
and
thus
have
better
judgment
and
perspective
than
do
members
of
the
general
public.
...
101
80. It
is
more
harmful
to
compromise
one's
own
beliefs

102
81. Claim:
Colleges
and
universities
should
specify
all
required
courses
and
eliminate
elective
courses
in
order
to
provide
clear
guidance
for
students.
Reason:
College
studentslike
people
in
generalprefer
to
follow
directions
rather
than
make
their
own
decisions..
103
82. No
field
of
study
can

and

offer
a
free

107
1. As
people
rely
more
and
more
on
technology
to
solve
problems,
the
ability
of
humans
to
think
for
themselves
will
surely
deteriorate.
The
statement
linking
technology
negatively
with
freethinking
plays
on
recent
human
experience
over
the
past
century.
Surely
there
has
been
no
time
in
history
where
the
lives
of
people
have
changed
more
dramatically.
A
quick
reflection
on
a
typical
day
reveals
how
technology
has
revolutionized
the
world.
Most
people
commute
to
work
in
an
automobile
that
runs
on
an
internal
combustion
engine.
During
the
workday,
chances
are
high
that
the
employee
will
interact
with
a
computer
that
processes
information
on
silicon
bridges
that
are
.09
microns
wide.
Upon
leaving
home,
family
members
will
be
reached
through
wireless
networks
that
utilize
satellites
orbiting
the
earth.
Each
of
these
common
occurrences
could
have
been
inconceivable
at
the
turn
of
the
19th
century.
The
statement
attempts
to
bridge
these
dramatic
changes
to
a
reduction
in
the
ability
for
humans
to
think
for
themselves.
The
assumption
is
that
an
increased
reliance
on
technology
negates
the
need
for
people
to
think
creatively
to
solve
previous
quandaries.
Looking
back
at
the
introduction,
one
could
argue
that
without
a
car,
computer,
or
mobile
phone,
the
hypothetical
worker
would
need
to
find
alternate
methods
of
transport,
information
processing
and
communication.
Technology
short-circuits
this
thinking
by
making
the
problems
obsolete.
However,
this
reliance
on
technology
does
not
necessarily
preclude
the
creativity
that
marks
the
human
species.
The
prior
examples
reveal
that
technology
allows
for
convenience.
The
car,
computer
and
phone
all
release
additional
time
for
people
to
live
more
efficiently.
This
efficiency
does
not
preclude
the
need
for
humans
to
think
for
themselves.
In
fact,
technology
frees
humanity
to
not
only
tackle
new
problems,
but
may
it
create
new
issues
that
did
not
exist
without
technology.
For
example,
the
proliferation
of
automobiles
has
introduced
a
need
for
fuel
conservation
on
a
global
scale.
With
increasing
energy
demands
from
emerging
markets,
global
warming
becomes
a
concern
inconceivable
to
the
horse-and-buggy
generation.
Likewise
dependence
on
oil
has
created
nation-
states
that
are
not
dependent
on
taxation,
allowing
ruling
parties
to
oppress
minority
groups
such
as
women.
Solutions
to
these
complex
problems
require
the
unfettered
imaginations
of
maverick
scientists
and
politicians.
In
contrast
to
the
statement,
we
can
even
see
how
technology
frees
the
human
imagination.
Consider
how
the
digital
revolution
and
the
advent
of
the
Internet
have
allowed
for
an
unprecedented
exchange
of
ideas.
WebMD,
a
popular
Internet
portal
for
medical
information,
permits
patients
to
self-research
symptoms
for
a
more
informed
doctor
visit.
This
exercise
opens
pathways
of
thinking
that
were
previously
closed
off
to
the
medical
layman.
With
increased
interdisciplinary
interactions,
inspiration
can
arrive
from
the
most
surprising
corners.
Jeffrey
Sachs,
one
of
the
architects
of
the
UN
Millenium
Development
Goals,
based
his
ideas
on
emergency
care
triage
techniques.

2.
To
understand
the
most
important
characteristics
of
a
society,
one
must
study
its
major
cities.
The
major
cities,
usually
leading
the
economic
development,
respect
some
aspects
of
the
society
characteristics,
indeed.
However,
the
society
is
a
multidimensional
and
complex
system.
To
understand
a
society,
many
other
factors
should
be
known
about,
such
as
festival,
traditional
culture
and
so
on.
To
begin
with,
the
major
cities
can
delegate
some
aspects
of
the
society.
The
economic
is
usually
advanced
in
major
cities,
and
the
popular
garments
and
culture
in
major
cities
will
thrive
in
minor
cities
later.
Not
only
these
things,
the
modern
life
style
is
also
leading
by
the
major
cities.
For
instance,
the
PayPal,
eBay,
Amazon
and
other
electronic
commerce
services
are
used
in
the
metropolis
first,
then
with
the
development
of
fast
express
and
other
mature
system,
they
are
spread
to
minor
cites.
It
is
same
to
Facebook
and
twitter,
which
are
first
popular
in
higher
education
institute
and
collar
worker.
Therefore,
it
is
somewhat
reasonable
that
the
major
cities
are
representative
in
some
areas.
However,
it
should
be
noticed
that
society
characteristics
contain
many
other
matters,
which
are
more
obvious
in
small
villages
than
in
the
metropolis.
For
example,
the
traditional
dietary
habit
is
mostly
maintained
in
the
countryside.
Due
to
the
rapid
life
style
and
high-pressure
in
metropolis,
fast
food
and
identical
set
meal
are
prosperous.
To
meet
the
different
demands
of
people,
who
come
from
different
areas
in
the
world,
the
set
meals
in
office
buildings
are
usually
normal
and
lack
characteristics.
In
contrast,
in
villages,
families
usually
have
enough
time
and
sufficient
materials
to
prepare
and
cook
the
traditional
food.
Furthermore,
the
similar
factors
contain
festivals,
which
remained
significant
in
10
villages.
Though
the
modern
and
popular
life
styles
are
lead
by
major
cities,
the
traditional
and
slow
life
characteristics
are
remained
in
small
cities.
These
factors
are
also
indispensable
to
understand
a
society.
From
another
perspective,
the
society
includes
the
huge
cities
and
small
ones,
which
should
all
be
took
into
consideration.
Though
the
major
cities
respect
main
trend
in
some
aspects
of
the
society,
the
number
of
the
major
cities
are
limited
in
one
country.
Even
assuming
that
the
influence
of
small
villages
on
society
is
minor,
the
amount
of
the
villages
is
huge.
Because
of
this
area
and
population
advantage,
the
life
and
dressing
habit
in
small
cities
may
be
more
representative
than
in
huge
cities
from
the
holistic
views.
To
understand
a
society
comprehensively,
miscellaneous
matters
should
be
considered,
the
knowledge
only
about
few
major
cities
are
not
enough.
Both
huge
cities
and
small
villages
need
to
be
understood
to
know
a
society.

the
ability
to
be
of
service.
What
right
do
institutions
have
to
decide
success
for
a
student?
And
how
exactly
can
educational
institutions
know
how
to
judge
a
student?
Michael
Jordan's
high
school
coach
considered
him
a
horrible
basketball
player
and
failed
him
during
tryouts.
Students
have
hidden
potential
and
no
judge
is
perfect.
Yet
looking
at
the
first
argument,
though
the
idea
of
success
is
different
to
each
person,
a
basic
tenet
of
success
is
satisfaction
of
a
certain
level
of
financial
freedom
and
of
contributing
to
society.
If
an
educational
institute
sees
that
a
student
might
have
trouble
fulfilling
this
basic
need,
then
it
should
inform
the
student
of
other
choices
he
has
in
his
career.
Also,
though
not
all
judges
are
perfect
in
their
perceptions
of
their
subjects,
if
a
student
has
passion
and
the
drive
to
succeed
in
his
given
field,
then
no
amount
of
criticism
will
stop
him.
Michael
Jordan
would
have
become
the
number
one
basketball
player
whether
or
not
his
coach
dissuaded
him.
In
fact,
perhaps
because
of
this
dissuasion
he
might
have
tried
harder.
If
someone
truly
wants
to
do
something,
then
he
won't
be
affected
by
dissuasion
from
others.
If,
on
the
other
hand,
a
person
is
timid
about
his
future
and
uncertain,
then
a
little
guidance
might
be
of
great
help.
An
important
reason
why
educational
institutions
should
help
their
students
decide
their
courses
of
study
is
that
they
have
the
most
knowledge
of
the
real
world
of
job
prospects
and
cases
of
successful
students.
They
have
access
to
research,
to
past
students,
and
to
companies
and
organizations
throughout
the
committee.
They
have
a
more
accurate
view
of
the
real
world
of
professional
jobs.
The
student,
on
the
other
hand,
though
not
in
all
cases,
will
most
likely
be
less
knowledgeable
of
the
current
world
than
the
educational
institution.
The
student
will
probably
be
younger
and
therefore
have
less
experience
with
careers
and
jobs,
more
likely
to
make
decisions
on
faulty
assumptions
or
on
misevaluations
of
him.
Many
students
prepare
for
medical
school
by
taking
pre-
med
during
their
undergraduate
years,
their
basis
for
preparation
being
vague
dreams
of
being
doctors
or
pressure
from
parents.
However,
if
a
student's
capabilities
are
not
toward
the
medical
sciences,
they
should
be
afforded
the
resources
to
decipher
this,
if
not
actual
counseling
as
to
better
career
choices.
Educational
institutions
should
also
prevent
students
from
spending
unnecessary
time
and
money
in
a
field
they
cannot
succeed
in.
Costs
of
college
are
increasing
every
year,
with
graduate
school
becoming
the
norm.
If
students
are
investing
so
much
of
their
time
and
money
into
an
educational
institute,
that
institute
has
a
responsibility
not
to
just
provide
them
with
a
diploma
but
also
to
prepare
them
for
their
careers.
There
are
pre-med
students
who
spend
years
trying
to
get
into
med
school,
only
to
be
rejected
by
the
colleges
that
advised
them
during
admissions.
There
are
also
colleges
that
are
considered
diploma
mills
by
knowledgeable
professionals,
who
accept
students
based
on
their
ability
to
pay
tuition,
and
who
roll
out
diplomas
and
graduate
students
without
taking
responsibility
for
their
futures.
Because
educational
institutions
have
the
most
resources,
connections,
and
knowledge,
and
because
their
students
are
investing
important
time
and
money
into
them,
they
must
take
responsibility
toward
their
students
by
making
sure
they
enter
fields
they
can
succeed
in.
If
a
student's
characteristics
prove
he
12
cannot
be
successful
in
his
chosen
field,
the
institution
must
provide
him
with
the
realistic
reasons
why
he
is
not
suited
and
show
him
a
better
course
of
study.

Scandals
are
useful
because
they
focus
our
attention
on
problems
in
ways
that
no
speaker
or
reformer
ever
could.
The
author
mentions
that
scandals
are
those
lightening
events
that
speak
about
the
weather
more
prominently
than
rain
or
clouds
can.
Indeed,
reformers
and
speakers
have
a
diplomatic
tone
of
conveying
when
they
attempt
to
remind
people
about
ethical
codes
and
consequences.
Scandals
remind
people
of
the
limits
more
strongly,
when
a
person
involved
in
it
goes
thru
the
consequences.
For
instance
when
renowned
sportsmen
loose
their
sports
credibility
just
because
of
a
ridiculous
extra
marital
affair,
it
helps
other
sportsmen
to
keep
a
check
on
their
private
behavior.
Similarly,
in
the
field
of
politics,
religion,
charity
and
social
services
any
event
of
scandal
actually
takes
a
heavy
toll
on
the
faith
people
have
in
that
system.
This
is
like
an
alarming
situation
that
no
one
wants
to
be
in.
Organizations
and
institutions
keep
volunteers
and
employees
up
to
the
mark
of
training
and
education
to
prevent
any
scandalous
mishaps.
However,
in
the
event
of
such
occurrence
the
results
are
more
complex
than
simply
reforming
or
cleansing.
Scandals
at
many
times
are
allegations
that
get
publicity.
These
allegations
are
often
hear
say
of
events
and
prejudices
accumulated.
When
a
scandal
is
exposed
a
can
of
worm
is
opened.
There
are
lot
of
investigations,
litigations
and
other
proceedings
that
go
to
prove
black
and
white.
This
certainly
costs
great
amount
of
resources,
time
and
energy
for
anyone
involved
in
it.
In
the
events,
of
the
allegations
being
baseless
the
person
still
has
to
go
through
a
painful
path
before
one
gets
exonerated.
This
causes
emotional
scars,
loose
of
respect
amongst
family
members
and
social
seclusion.
At
the
cost
of
all
vital
aspects
if
a
scandal
impacts
reformation
at
certain
level
than
one
must
wonder
about
its
value.
Recently,
in
China
when
the
milk
powder
scandal
surfaced
there
was
a
lot
of
blame
game
that
went
about.
The
bureaucrats
blamed
the
production
company
and
the
company
blamed
its
quality
control
engineers.
Yet
at
the
end
of
it
there
was
not
much
of
a
system
change
in
the
way
processed
food
companies
logistics
exist.
Hence,
one
would
wonder
if
scandals
really
help
in
performing
more
efficiently
than
reformers
do.
A
reformer
or
a
speaker
acts
as
a
preventive
and
proactive
element,
which
motivates
the
system
to
keep
it
healthy
rather
than
a
scandal
which
actually
calls
for
cure
after
its
occurrence.
13
Thus,
a
scandals
effects
no
matter
how
remarkable
it
may
be,
possibly
leaves
many
economical
or
emotional
scars
on
the
people
involved
in
it.
So
assuming
its
thorough
usefulness
is
a
little
too
audacious
a
belief.
5.
Claim:
Governments
must
ensure
that
their
major
cities
receive
the
financial
support
they
need
in
order
to
thrive.
Reason:
It
is
primarily
in
cities
that
a
nation's
cultural
traditions
are
preserved
and
generated.
The
author
concludes
that
the
major
cities
should
get
more
financial
support
because
the
cultural
traditions
are
preserved
and
generated
in
these
metropolises.
However,
personally,
small
villages
may
maintain
more
traditional
factors.
The
support
to
culture
protection
should
be
combined
in
major
cities
and
small
villages.
Furthermore,
the
spirits
and
other
invisible
aspects
in
cultural
are
also
crucial
to
culture
protection.
To
begin
with,
some
culture
factors
in
big
cities
are
hard
and
expensive
to
be
maintained.
However,
in
small
villages,
the
cost
to
culture
maintenance
will
be
considerable
lower
than
in
the
big
cities.
For
instance,
all
the
hoary
architecture
need
work
in
maintenance.
In
huge
cities,
the
worker
employee
fees
are
higher
and
the
real
estate
value
is
far
higher
than
small
villages.
Except
for
the
economic
considerations,
the
rare
places
in
major
cities
may
be
used
for
better
benefits,
such
as
hospitals,
schools
and
so
on.
Taking
the
large
numbers
of
people
in
metropolis
into
consideration,
these
infrastructures
may
be
more
practical
and
exigent
for
residents.
Therefore,
when
the
same
traditional
buildings
exist
in
huge
cities
and
small
villages,
the
culture
protection
in
small
villages
maybe
more
economical
and
advisable.
From
another
perspective,
more
cultural
factors
may
be
remained
in
villages
than
in
cities.
The
cities
are
more
vulnerable
in
battles
than
villages.
The
complex
politic
turmoil,
often
happened
in
huge
cities,
also
has
negative
influences
on
the
culture
protection.
In
small
villages,
the
calm
and
steady
life
style
is
better
for
culture
protection.
Some
old
architecture
remains
only
damaged
structure,
due
to
the
war.
For
instance,
the
temple
in
Athens,
and
the
old
summer
palace
in
Beijing.
However,
in
small
villages,
some
old
structures
can
avoid
the
war
damage.
Furthermore,
more
traditional
factors,
such
as
poetry,
literature,
and
ballad,
are
inherited
invisible,
regardless
of
the
area
difference.
These
intangible
factors
are
maintained
in
small
villages
easier
than
in
cities,
since
the
life
style
in
huge
cities
are
influenced
by
modern
technology
productions.
For
example,
the
popular
music
concert
may
replace
the
Shakespeares
poetry
in
cities.
The
novels,
like
Harry
Potter,
may
replace
the
Bible
story
in
childrens
hands.
The
fast
food
and
set
meal
may
replace
the
traditional
food
in
most
cases.
However,
in
villages,
the
music
concert
is
often
few,
and
traditional
stories
may
be
talk
more,
so
that
the
14
old
value
and
spirits
may
be
inherited
more
in
villages
than
in
cities.
The
protection
for
these
things
doesnt
need
much
financial
support,
but
education
and
propagation.
To
sum
up,
both
cities
and
villages
have
some
kind
of
unique
factor
on
cultural
tradition.
Small
cities
may
contain
more
old
culture
factors
in
some
aspects,
and
the
invisible
things
need
more
attention
and
should
be
educated
to
next
generation.
The
financial
support
may
not
that
important
comparing
with
the
invisible
propagation.
In
conclusion,
if
financial
and
other
methods
support
are
applied
to
cultural
protection,
the
excellent
tradition
will
be
inherited
for
long.
6.
A
nation
should
require
all
of
its
students
to
study
the
same
national
curriculum
until
they
enter
college.
The
children
of
a
nation
are
its
future.
Along
with
becoming
independent
and
successful,
they
are
the
ones
to
carry
the
responsibility
of
running
the
nation
as
well
as
developing
it
in
the
future.
Therefore,
it
is
very
important
to
form
a
strong
base
in
their
formative
years
so
that
they
are
not
only
successful
in
the
personal
front
but
also
turn
out
to
be
good
citizens.
Education
plays
an
important
role
in
forming
the
basis
of
a
child's
future.
The
curriculum
should
therefore
be
carefully
chosen
to
fulfill
these
requirements.
I
believe
that
the
curriculum
being
followed
in
a
nation
should
be
similar
but
schools
should
have
some
freedom
to
introduce
or
change
it
to
a
certain
extent.
While
the
larger
part
of
the
curriculum
should
be
decided
to
remain
similar
on
a
national
level,
it
should
not
be
binding
schools
completely
to
follow
it
strictly.
Having
a
uniform
curriculum
is
beneficial
in
many
ways.
It
determines
a
standard
level,
which
is
required
by
every
student
to
clear
before
he
is
able
to
take
another
academic
step.
Each
level
prepares
the
student
for
the
next
level
and
this
forms
a
stepwise
format
of
learning.
A
common
curriculum
ensures
a
stable
and
universal
learning
pattern.
It
allows
making
the
curriculum
familiar
throughout
the
nation
and
it
becomes
easier
to
refer
to
it.
There
are
many
students
who
attend
more
than
one
school
during
their
education.
A
common
national
curriculum
is
very
important
for
such
students
who
leave
one
school
and
join
another
at
a
different
place.
For
example,
consider
the
people
in
a
transferable
job
like
the
defense.
The
children
of
a
defense
person
have
to
go
to
different
places
along
with
their
families.
It
is
evident
that
they
need
to
change
their
schools
as
often
as
their
guardians
get
transferred
to
a
new
place.
If
there
are
no
guidelines
for
curriculum
given
to
schools,
these
children
will
have
to
face
new
and
unfamiliar
curriculums
everywhere
they
go.
This
will
make
it
difficult
for
them
to
cope
up
with
the
requirements
of
a
new
curriculum
and
they
will
be
at
a
great
disadvantage.
According
to
me,
a
uniform
curriculum
at
all
places
makes
it
easier
for
such
people
to
change
schools
and
adjust
in
a
new
environment
without
hampering
their
growth.

Today
is
the
age
of
competition.
In
order
to
find
a
place
anywhere
the
students
need
to
compete
with
each
other.
Therefore,
uniformity
is
required
at
some
level
so
that
there
is
fair
competition.
Generally,
students
have
to
face
an
entrance
test
at
the
college
level
to
secure
a
seat.
This
entrance
test
is
based
on
the
knowledge
acquired
by
students
in
their
high
schools.
If
there
is
variation
in
the
curriculum
that
they
have
studied,
the
entrance
test
will
not
be
made
on
similar
lines
for
everyone.
Hence,
it
would
benefit
some
students
who
have
studied
that
curriculum
and
the
other
students
would
be
at
a
loss.
There
would
be
no
way
to
judge
their
capabilities
with
the
same
parameters.
Hence,
it
is
very
important
that
uniformity
be
maintained
in
the
curriculum
at
the
school
level,
and
students
are
able
to
face
fair
competition
when
they
leave
school.
However,
I
maintain
that
along
with
following
the
national
guidelines
for
curriculum,
schools
should
have
certain
liberty
in
choosing
the
format
of
courses
it
offers.
Each
student
is
different
and
so
are
his
abilities.
While
there
are
some
students
who
are
fast
learners,
some
are
average
and
some
are
extremely
slow.
Moreover,
the
interests
of
students
vary.
Keeping
in
mind
the
interests
of
students,
the
curriculum
should
be
molded
so
that
they
retain
their
interest
in
studies
altogether.
Hence,
schools
should
be
allowed
a
certain
amount
of
discretion
in
making
certain
changes
according
to
the
needs
only
for
the
betterment
of
all
the
students.
In
the
end
I
would
I
like
to
conclude
that
a
uniform
pattern
on
the
whole
is
very
important
at
a
national
level.
However,
at
the
same
time,
schools
should
not
be
bound
to
follow
it
blindly
and
should
be
able
to
make
certain
changes
that
help
the
students
in
their
studies.

An
artist
only
seeks
admiration
from
public
and
the
various
forms
of
art
came
into
existence
without
any
monetary
support
but
out
of
creativity.
An
artist's
creativity
does
not
depend
upon
any
sort
of
funding
and
an
artist
cannot
be
forced
to
create
any
form
of
art
because
government
funds
that
art
form.
A
dancer
does
not
need
funds
to
support
his
dance
rather
he
needs
admirers
and
followers
who
would
take
his
legacy
to
another
level.
Similarly,
a
sculptor
is
not
dependent
upon
government's
funds
for
his
sculptures
rather
he
would
need
students
who
would
keep
alive
his
art
form.
There
are
numerous
examples
from
history,
which
depict
that
the
various
art
forms
came
into
existence
without
any
sort
of
funding.
These
art
forms
are
till
date
followed
by
people.
The
great
painter
artist
Leonardo
de
Vinci
was
not
funded
by
any
government
for
his
art
form
but
his
admirers
were
the
true
source
of
his
popularity.
Art
has
been
prevalent
in
our
history
without
the
support
of
funding
from
government.
Although
art
has
always
been
there
since
the
time
humans
have
been
there
in
this
world.
There
are
numerous
art
forms
that
are
in
existence
without
the
support
of
the
government.
The
government
intervention
in
protecting
certain
art
forms
because
those
art
forms
were
on
the
verge
of
extinction
is
credible.
In
such
fields
the
role
of
government
has
shown
remarkable
success.
The
support
from
government
has
only
helped
in
saving
an
art
form
and
also
it
has
aided
artists
to
keep
their
art
form
alive.
Government
supports
the
various
small-scale
industries
and
pottery
is
one
of
them.
The
artisans
are
now
provided
funds
by
government
to
save
their
art
form.
Various
art
forms
have
been
in
existence
on
their
own
and
without
the
support
of
the
government.
It
is
not
important
that
art
needs
funding
for
its
existence
but
when
any
form
of
art
needs
funds
the
support
from
government
can
always
be
asked
for.
The
government
should
adopt
measures
to
fund
arts
when
it
is
needed.
The
government
should
also
take
steps
to
encourage
young
aspiring
artists.

There
have
been
monarchs
who
have
successfully
ruled
their
countries
for
decades.
On
the
other
hand,
there
are
examples
of
rulers
who
were
overthrown
in
a
coup
because
the
public
found
that
they
were
not
worthy
of
the
position
of
power
held
by
them.
If
monarchy
was
indeed
so
successful,
then
why
is
it
that
democracy
has
replaced
monarchy
in
most
countries
across
the
world?
This
is
because
there
is
the
requirement
of
a
change
in
leadership
at
regular
intervals.
This
change
of
leadership
serves
two
purposes.
Firstly,
the
person
in
power
is
aware
of
the
repercussions
of
carelessly
handling
his
responsibilities.
He
knows
that
he
can
be
removed
from
his
post
even
before
his
tenure
is
over,
so
he
puts
in
his
best
for
doing
what
is
expected
of
him.
Secondly,
this
process
ensures
that
new
talent
is
given
a
chance
to
come
and
prove
their
competence
in
carrying
out
the
tasks
assigned
to
them.
There
is
always
the
possibility
of
someone
remaining
in
power
for
the
next
term
also
if
the
organization
fails
to
identify
a
suitable
replacement
for
him.
Therefore,
a
change
in
leadership
is
bound
to
bring
in
long-
term
benefits
for
the
enterprise
in
addition
to
success
in
all
its
ventures.
It
is
an
exhilarating
feeling
to
have
the
power
to
make
people
dance
to
your
whims
and
fancies.
It
is
this
feeling
that
is
the
reason
behind
the
prevalent
corruption
amongst
the
people
in
power.
We
have
heard
of
so
many
instances
wherein
the
people
in
power
have
misused
their
official
position
for
personal
gains.
Stories
of
embezzlement
of
accounts,
fraud,
bribery
and
nepotism
have
generally
been
found
in
the
front
pages
of
our
national
dailies.
These
are
all
related
to
the
misuse
of
power
by
the
people
who
have
been
placed
in
this
position
for
the
betterment
of
the
organization
that
they
work
for.
A
change
in
leadership
ensures
that
such
people
will
eventually
be
removed
after
their
tenure
is
over
and
the
new
person
thus
appointed
may
be
much
more
honest
and
cooperative,
thereby
improving
the
working
conditions
in
the
organization.
There
are
numerous
students
who
earn
professional
degrees
every
year.
As
technology
keeps
changing
at
short
intervals,
it
would
be
a
wise
decision
to
try
out
new
talent,
as
they
would
be
trained
to
keep
instep
with
the
latest
developments.
If
the
head
of
the
computer
department
of
a
high
school
is
a
teacher
who
had
graduated
10
years
ago,
wouldn't
it
be
a
better
option
to
replace
him
with
a
teacher
who
has
recently
graduated
and
who
is
aware
of
the
latest
technological
developments
in
the
world
of
computer
science.
The
school
and
the
students
will
benefit
from
the
knowledge
of
the
new
teacher
who
can
give
an
entirely
new
dimension
to
the
computer
education
being
imparted
in
the
school.
In
sum,
it
becomes
necessary
to
change
the
leadership
at
regular
intervals
in
order
to
ensure
that
the
best
available
talent
in
the
market
is
tapped
for
leading
an
organization
on
the
path
to
success.

10. Nations
should
pass
laws
to
preserve
any
remaining
wilderness
areas
in
their
natural
state,
even
if
these
areas
could
be
developed
for
economic
gain.
There
is
little
justification
for
society
to
make
extraordinary
efforts
especially
at
a
great
cost
in
money
and
jobsto
save
endangered
animal
or
plant
species.
Some
people
believe
that
society
should
try
to
save
every
plant
and
animal
species,
despite
the
expense
to
humans
in
effort,
time,
and
financial
well-
being.
Others
believe
that
society
need
not
make
extraordinary
efforts,
especially
at
a
great
cost
in
money
and
jobs,
to
save
endangered
species
We
should
be
grateful
to
the
bountiful
nature
for
sustaining
us,
as
it
had
sustained
our
ancestors
for
many
generations.
But,
don't
we
need
to
preserve
it
for
posterity's
sake?
State
of
wilderness
is
a
very
exigent
issue,
that
should
be
concerning
every
nation
in
fact
every
individual.
We
have
already
cut
down
innumerable
trees
and
cleared
forest
for
our
selfish
economic
gains.
Post
industrialization
has
seen
a
complete
metamorphosis
of
how
vast
stretches
of
green
land
and
forests
had
been
replaced
by
factories,
industries,
commercial
building
and
township
resulting
in
uncontrollable
pollution,
global
warming,
diseases
such
as
lung
cancer,
asthma
and
other
respiratory
disorders
owing
to
pollution
and
lack
of
fresh
air.
Hence,
I
undoubtedly
agree
that
nations
should
implement
strict
laws
to
curb
further
deforestation.
Only
countries,
which
are
under
developed,
have
fair
amount
of
wilderness
area
and
where
economic
development
is
a
prerequisite
for
survival
should
consider
about
disturbing
them
within
limits.
They
should
learn
from
mistakes
of
developed
nations
and
take
thoughtful
actions
-
how
to
manage
their
wildlife
resources
such
that
minimum
damage
happens
to
environment.
Forest
contributes
a
lot
in
rain,
maintains
levels
of
oxygen,
recycles
carbon
dioxide
and
is
home
to
innumerable
species
of
flora
and
fauna.
Unchecked
deforestation
has
lead
to
global
warming,
disturb
pattern
of
rain
and
climatic
variations.
Due
to
man's
reckless
deforestation
many
animals
are
on
the
verge
of
extinction
or
their
population
have
significantly
reduced.
Siberian
tiger,
Panda,
dodo
bird,
American
Bison,
mountain
gorilla
are
a
few
to
mention.
We
are
left
with
only
3,
000
wild
tigers
now
whereas
a
century
back
their
number
was
around
1,
00,
000.
Well
what
a
shame
Incidents
reporting
animals
attacking
people
in
cities
are
also
increasing
these
days
because
of
loss
of
their
habitat
and
subsequent
disruption
in
their
food
cycle.
Human
beings
for
their
selfish
motives
brought
down
these
forests
but
to
keep
them
from
further
damage
nations
should
enact
stringent
laws
for
wilderness
protection
as
well
as
for
regulating
mining.
Furthermore,
afforestation
should
be
encouraged
and
practiced
wherever
possible.
As
"Necessity
is
the
mother
of
invention",
our
scientist
and
engineers
would
surely
find
some
alternatives
instead
of
cutting
down
trees
for
fulfilling
their
20
21
circumstances
etc,
but
it
is
eventually
the
thief
who
makes
the
decision
in
spite
of
the
options.
A
person
can
only
be
responsible
for
his
behavior.
External
forces
can
play
a
part,
but
human
beings
are
the
outcome
of
their
own
actions.
However,
the
above
statement
is
not
entirely
without
support,
it
runs
contrary
to
common
sense
and
everyday
human
actions.
So,
I
firmly
believe
that
our
action
springs
from
our
free
will
accords
with
common
sense
and
everyday
experience.
12. Governments
should
offer
a
free
university
education
to
any
student
who
has
been
admitted
to
a
university
but
who
cannot
afford
the
tuition.
Education
is
a
vital
requirement
for
the
progress
and
development
of
nations.
The
increase
in
the
level
of
knowledge
among
the
people
will
be
directly
reflected
in
its
development
level.
Therefore
I
total
agree
that
governments
should
offer
a
free
university
education
to
any
student
who
has
been
admitted
to
a
university
but
who
cannot
afford
the
tuition.
Since
education
is
a
responsibility
of
the
governments
and
it
is
included
in
the
annual
budget.
Therefore
they
have
to
take
into
consideration
the
equality
among
all
people.
They
should
offer
equal
opportunities
among
their
people,
no
bias
to
any
group
other
than
the
other.
There
should
be
no
differentiation
between
races,
casts
and
social
levels.
Taking
the
university
tuition
as
criterion
to
compare
the
differentiation
among
the
government
practices,
we
will
conclude
that
it
will
be
unfair
for
the
poor
people,
as
only
the
rich
people
will
afford
the
high
tuition
fees
of
universities
and
they
will
be
the
only
people
in
society
who
hold
university
degrees.
For
more
clarification,
only
the
children
of
the
doctors,
engineers,
businessmen
will
be
well
educated
and
join
universities
while
the
majority
of
average
and
below
average
caste
in
the
society
will
still
have
to
be
working
as
white
collars.
This
will
increase
the
gap
between
social
levels
in
the
society.
In
addition,
the
government
investing
in
its
people
will
be
the
mean
for
its
development
and
progress.
In
order
for
the
government
to
eliminate
and
decrease
the
level
of
illiteracy
among
its
citizens,
it
has
to
spread
education
and
help
people
earn
degrees.
As
to
the
increase
in
globalization
and
technology,
governments
have
to
cope
with
that
spread
of
technology
and
knowledge
among
countries.
If
they
did
not
help
majority
of
people
earn
university
degrees,
they
will
not
cope
with
that
vast
spread
of
knowledge.
For
example,
developing
countries
where
governments
do
not
have
a
big
budget
for
education,
not
all
people
are
well
educated
and
therefore
affecting
the
progress
and
development
of
these
countries.
I
think
that
governments
should
focus
on
education
in
order
to
develop
the
skills
of
the
people.
To
conclude,
governments
will
not
be
able
to
cope
with
the
knowledge
era
and
globalization
unless
concentrated
on
the
educational
level
of
its
people.
The
number
of
well-educated
people
in
the
society
will
measure
the
progress
and
development
level
of
nations.
Also
they
should
decrease
the
gap
among
social
22
levels
and
give
them
all
the
same
opportunities
to
be
educated
and
receive
university
degrees.
Therefore
I
strongly
agree
that
governments
should
offer
a
free
university
education
to
any
student
who
has
been
admitted
to
a
university
but
who
cannot
afford
the
tuition.
13. Universities
should
require
every
student
to
take
a
variety
of
courses
outside
the
student's
field
of
study.
It
is
true
that
one
should
be
aware
of
various
academic
disciplines
in
order
to
expand
his
vision
and
become
truly
educated.
One's
knowledge
cannot
remain
restricted
to
one's
own
field
of
study
or
else
he
will
not
be
able
to
analyze
his
knowledge
with
respect
to
the
happenings
in
other
related
fields.
However,
the
decision
to
acquire
knowledge
of
academic
disciplines
other
than
their
fields
of
study
should
rest
with
the
students
themselves.
The
recommendation
that
students
should
be
forced
to
study
subjects
other
than
their
fields
of
study
is
extremely
unconvincing.
Students
are
in
universities
for
a
short
duration
of
time
that
amounts
to
a
couple
of
years
in
which
they
have
to
acquire
maximum
possible
knowledge
about
their
fields
of
study.
These
students
will
go
on
to
become
professionals
in
their
respective
fields.
Is
it
justified
to
take
out
time
from
this
precious
period
to
study
subjects
that
will
have
no
relevance
to
the
career
that
the
students
plan
to
pursue?
If
someone
is
studying
medicine,
will
it
be
justified
to
force
him
to
study
history?
It
is
true
that
knowledge
of
history
will
definitely
make
him
truly
educated
as
he
will
be
aware
of
historical
facts
which
are
essential
for
being
well-informed.
However,
would
this
knowledge
make
such
a
big
difference
to
his
life
that
it
should
be
made
mandatory
for
him
to
study
this
subject
that
has
no
relevance
to
his
field
of
study?
It
is
a
well-known
fact
that
students
have
to
appear
for
various
tests
to
prove
their
capabilities
in
a
particular
subject.
They
are
given
admissions
to
various
programs
of
study
depending
upon
their
performance
in
such
tests.
Therefore,
will
all
students
be
able
to
study
all
subjects
of
the
university
level
with
equal
ease?
A
student
who
has
an
aptitude
for
Biology
may
not
be
in
a
position
to
study
Mathematics
that
easily.
If
he
is
forced
to
take
a
course
in
Mathematics,
it
might
eventually
turn
out
that
he
spends
more
time
in
studying
Mathematics
rather
than
studying
Biology,
which
is
his
main
subject.
Making
the
students
study
subjects
other
than
their
fields
of
study
cannot
be
justified
without
assessing
the
aptitude
of
the
students
and
their
liking
for
the
additional
subjects.
It
is
not
warranted
to
force
an
engineering
student
to
study
English
literature
in
the
time
that
he
should
have
spent
studying
the
concepts
of
engineering.
Such
an
action
could
have
serious
repercussions
like
the
student
not
being
able
to
become
a
competent
engineer
as
he
wasted
precious
time
during
his
years
in
the
university
memorizing
facts
that
were
of
no
relevance
to
his
choice
of
career.
It
would
be
a
much
better
option
to
give
ample
time
to
students
in
their
years
in
the
universities
to
learn
as
much
as
they
can
about
their
fields
of
study.
They

16. The
well
being
of
a
society
is
enhanced
when
many
of
its
people
question
authority.
We
all
live
in
a
society
where
the
authority
to
run
the
society
is
given
to
some
capable
hands.
It
is
impossible
for
all
of
us
to
have
the
authority
that
is
why
some
representatives
chosen
by
us
are
given
authority
to
run
the
social
system
for
us.
These
people
help
us
to
create
a
better
environment
for
our
living.
We
as
citizens
have
all
the
rights
to
question
their
authority.
If
we
think
that
certain
things
are
not
happening
as
they
should
be
happening
we
can
question
the
authority.
Although
it
is
the
prime
responsibility
of
the
people
who
are
given
the
responsibility
to
provide
us
with
all
the
comforts
but
if
we
question
their
authority
then
these
people
become
more
prompt
and
it
certainly
enhances
the
well
being
of
the
society.
If
we
were
denied
the
right
to
question
then
this
social
system
would
be
like
monarchy
where
nobody
can
question
the
authority.
Therefore,
I
believe
that
if
we
keep
exercising
our
right
of
questioning
the
authority
it
would
make
the
authorities
provide
us
with
better
facilities.
If
a
person
is
not
answerable
to
anybody
then
in
spite
of
his
sincerity
he
might
be
negligent
in
performing
his
duties.
On
the
contrary
if
a
person
is
aware
of
the
fact
that
he
is
answerable
to
the
public
for
what
ever
he
does
for
the
society,
he
would
make
sure
that
everything
is
done
properly.
Authority
and
responsibility
are
the
different
sides
of
the
same
coin.
They
appear
to
be
different
but
they
are
integral
parts
of
each
other.
Therefore,
a
person
who
is
given
authority
has
to
take
the
responsibility.
It
was
in
the
past
when
there
was
authoritarian
rule
like
the
one
of
Adolph
Hitler
but
soon
people
realized
the
importance
of
being
free
and
slowly
all
such
practices
came
to
an
end.
In
the
present
day
scenario
people
are
more
educated
and
thus
more
aware
of
their
rights
and
they
want
to
question
if
they
are
deprived
of
their
rights.
The
right
to
question
has
brought
revolution
and
people
have
become
stronger.
Now
nobody
can
make
a
fool
out
of
them
as
they
know
what
their
rights
are.
Although
it
is
the
responsibility
of
the
authorities
to
be
answerable
to
the
public
but
that
certainly
does
not
mean
that
public
interferes
in
all
the
matters.
There
are
some
matters
where
public
interference
cannot
be
allowed.
There
are
some
decisions
that
are
taken
in
emergency
which
are
for
the
betterment
of
the
society
and
under
such
circumstances
authorities
are
not
answerable
to
public.
If
there
is
too
much
interference
from
the
society
then
there
can
also
be
delay
in
important
decision-making.
Such
decisions,
which
need
immediate
attention,
will
take
long
if
there
is
public
intervention.
Therefore,
public
should
question
the
authorities
but
public
should
not
prove
to
be
a
hindrance
in
decision
making
by
the
authorities.
Public
should
participate
but
not
become
an
obstacle
for
the
government.

17. Government
officials
should
rely
on
their
own
judgment
rather
than
unquestioningly
carry
out
the
will
of
the
people
they
serve.
Some
people
believe
that
government
officials
must
carry
out
the
will
of
the
people
they
serve.
Others
believe
that
officials
should
base
their
decisions
on
their
own
judgment.
The
government
of
a
nation
is
meant
to
serve
its
people
and
take
care
of
its
present
and
future
well-being.
In
any
country,
it
is
not
possible
for
any
government
to
survive
if
it
does
not
satisfy
its
compatriots.
When
people
are
not
happy
with
their
leaders,
there
is
bound
to
be
revolt,
agitation
and
defiance
of
the
government's
decisions.
Nonetheless,
it
is
not
wise
for
any
government
and
its
officials
to
'unquestioningly'
accept
the
demands
of
its
people.
There
has
to
be
contemplation
over
every
decision
that
a
government
makes
and
over
every
requirement
of
the
public.
I
agree
with
the
given
statement,
mainly
owing
to
the
word
'unquestioningly.'
It
is
the
duty
of
any
government
to
look
after
its
people.
No
matter
which
form
of
government
a
country
follows,
the
government
is
to
put
the
interests
of
its
people
before
any
other
agenda.
Well-being
of
its
people
is
the
sole
criteria
that
a
government
should
consider
while
making
any
decisions.
When
the
government,
its
decisions
and
policies
do
not
satisfy
people,
they
are
sure
to
revolt.
The
uprising
of
Indians
against
British
and
the
recent
revolt
of
Tibetans
against
China
and
are
such
examples.
Such
revolts
are
even
seen
at
lower
levels
of
organization
of
public.
If
a
state
is
not
happy
with
the
way
its
leaders
function,
there
are
revolts
and
agitation
against
them.
Though
the
society
has
to
be
satisfied,
it
is
not
wise
for
any
government
to
listen
to
its
people
without
questioning
their
opinions.
Every
society
is
composed
of
people
from
different
classes.
There
are
those
who
are
poor,
middle
class
and
rich.
Similarly,
a
society
can
also
be
classified
according
to
the
occupations
of
people.
There
are
businessmen,
salaried
employees,
entrepreneurs,
private
and
public
sector
employees
in
every
society.
The
requirements
of
each
category
of
people
are
different
and
so
are
their
expectations
from
the
government.
Because
of
the
differences
that
exist
in
its
people,
it
is
very
rare
that
unanimous
opinions
exist.
It
is
then
the
government's
duty
to
reach
a
decision
that
is
acceptable
by
one
and
all.
For
everyone
to
be
satisfied,
it
is
required
that
each
opinion
be
given
due
consideration
and
be
questioned
by
the
government.
If
its
people
make
certain
claims
and
demands,
the
government
has
to
question
the
basis
of
the
same.
This
questioning
has
to
be
done
for
ensuring
that
what
people
want
is
actually
what
they
require.
Never
should
a
consensus
be
arrived
at
without
discussions
and
debates.
At
times,
there
are
policies
of
a
government
that
are
made
by
keeping
the
future
in
mind,
rather
than
a
short-lived
present
discomfort.
At
other
times,
there
are
decisions
that
are
for
the
betterment
of
downtrodden
sections
of
society
rather
than
for
the
creamy
layer.
Such
decisions
could
upset
one
lot
of
people
and
satisfy
others.
It
is
then
up
to
the
government
to
consider
different
judgments
and
take
a
tough
stand.
The
government
is
meant
to
serve
its
people,
but
it
is
a
28
composition
of
leaders.
The
leaders
should
keep
the
interest
of
people
in
the
forefront
and
take
tough
decisions
about
things
that
they
foresee
as
beneficial,
irrespective
of
the
opposition
they
face.
18. Governments
should
focus
on
solving
the
immediate
problems
of
today
rather
than
on
trying
to
solve
the
anticipated
problems
of
the
future.
Government
is
a
body
that
governs
the
rules
and
regulations
of
a
state
in
the
interest
of
the
people.
It
sets
some
targets
for
the
common
well-being
of
all
the
citizens
and
tries
to
bring
the
less
privileged
at
par
with
others.
A
government's
main
motive
is
to
look
after
the
needs
of
the
people,
best
utilization
of
resources
and
implementation
of
ways
for
the
development
of
the
nation.
There
are
a
few
issues
that
every
government
has
to
deal
with
immediately,
and
some
that
need
long
term
planning
with
foresight.
It
is
therefore
important
for
any
government
to
segregate
these
issues
to
avoid
chaos
and
to
work
efficiently.
If
on
one
hand,
the
problem
of
unemployment
needs
immediate
action,
then
on
the
other
hand,
the
economic
reforms
should
be
made
by
anticipating
the
upcoming
demands
and
problems.
The
government
must
try
to
foresee
the
future
prospects
of
any
project
undertaken.
It
must
be
in
a
position
to
frame
a
tentative
outline
to
meet
the
future
demands,
keeping
in
view
the
resources
in
hand.
The
borrowing
or
sharing
of
the
latest
technologies
is
done
with
an
aim
to
have
a
smooth
future.
Since,
enormous
money
is
involved
in
adopting
a
technology
and
starting
a
project
at
the
national
level,
like
constructing
a
power
plant,
building
a
highway,
importing
or
manufacturing
aircrafts
and
ships,
building
a
dam
or
railway
line,
the
government
cannot
simply
base
them
on
the
present
demand
and
supply
ratio.
In
fact,
it
should
have
a
vision
to
see
the
future
need
and
applications
to
avoid
wastage
of
time
and
labor
in
the
near
future.
Above
all,
it
would
be
blocking
the
money
too,
if
the
plans
and
projects
demand
changes
every
now
and
then.
For
example,
investing
thoughtlessly
in
highways
and
good
roads
may
need
drastic
changes
owing
to
the
increasing
traffic.
Thus,
it
would
be
wiser
to
anticipate
the
future
of
traffic
on
roads
and
accordingly
invest
in
the
different
diversions
on
busy
junctions,
by-lanes
and
flyovers
wherever
necessary.
Challenges
like
illiteracy
need
to
be
taken
care
of
immediately
along
with
long
term
planning.
If
it
is
necessary
to
make
the
adults
of
today
aware
of
the
importance
of
education,
then
the
government
needs
to
anticipate
the
future
and
provide
requisite
facilities
such
that
sending
their
children
to
educational
institutions
disappoints
no
one.
Similarly,
the
law
and
order
problems
need
to
be
tackled
at
times
by
an
immediate
amendment
in
the
law.
The
provision
of
amendments
in
laws
should
be
made
with
a
futuristic
approach
such
that
the
offshoots
of
similar
situations
may
be
handled
as
well.
29
30
Similarly,
you
cannot
give
the
same
punishment
to
two
persons
who
have
killed
some
other
persons
for
different
reasons.
While
one
person
might
have
killed
for
some
personal
gain
and
the
other
person
could
have
killed
to
save
his
own
life.
Both
the
situations
are
entirely
different.
There
is
no
doubt
that
fixed
laws
help
the
judges
in
determining
whether
a
person
is
guilty
or
not.
However,
it
also
forces
people
to
follow
laws,
as
they
are
afraid
of
punishments.
It
instills
the
fear
in
their
minds
that
if
they
do
some
wrong,
they
will
be
punished.
Finally,
it
can
be
said
that
there
should
be
a
balance
between
the
two
aspects.
There
should
be
a
fixed
law
for
every
crime
to
guide
the
judges
and
the
government
to
install
rules
and
regulations.
It
gives
the
feeling
of
security
and
stability.
However,
at
the
same
time,
there
should
be
flexibility
when
it
comes
to
applying
the
laws
in
different
circumstances.
There
should
be
a
scope
of
modifying
the
existing
and
fading
laws
to
give
way
to
the
development
of
the
society
and
justice
to
people.
20. Claim:
The
best
way
to
understand
the
character
of
a
society
is
to
examine
the
character
of
the
men
and
women
that
the
society
chooses
as
its
heroes
or
its
role
models.
Reason:
Heroes
and
role
models
reveal
a
society's
highest
ideals.
The
character
of
the
people
who
form
that
society
determines
the
character
of
a
society.
A
society
idolizes
certain
men
and
women
as
its
heroes
and
heroines
depending
on
what
these
people
have
done
for
the
society.
These
people
may
be
politicians
or
they
may
have
brought
about
a
radical
change
in
the
way
people
live
in
that
society.
Irrespective
of
what
they
have
done
for
the
society,
their
characters
cannot
determine
the
character
of
the
entire
society
as
these
people
will
have
their
own
individual
characteristics
that
cannot
reflect
the
characters
of
all
the
people
who
are
a
part
of
that
society.
This
is
because
each
individual
has
his
own
perception
about
the
things
around
him
and
this
perception
shapes
his
character.
There
may
be
some
cases
wherein
people
try
to
emulate
their
idols,
but
this
does
not
mean
that
the
entire
society's
character
can
be
understood
by
studying
the
character
of
its
heroes
and
heroines.
The
news
channels
and
the
newspapers
are
always
following
well-known
people
for
a
peep
into
their
personal
lives.
Lady
Diana
was
adored
and
loved
by
millions
of
people
across
the
world.
She
was
the
idol
of
not
only
her
country
but
also
many
other
countries
around
the
world.
There
have
been
numerous
occasions
where
people
have
maligned
her
name
by
associating
her
with
scandals
even
after
her
death.
If
these
accusations
are
true,
then
do
the
societies
that
worship
her
have
the
same
character?
What
about
the
heroes
and
heroines
who
are
respected
and
loved
for
the
characters
that
they
portray
in
movies?
It
is
a
well-
known
fact
that
the
lives
of
models,
actors
and
artists
are
laced
with
scandals
and
controversies.
Some
of
them
are
known
drug-addicts
and
others
lead
amorous
lives.
Does
the
society
that
idolizes
these
people
have
the
same
31
character?
It
would
be
wrong
to
assume
that
the
society
has
the
same
character
as
it
is
an
accepted
fact
that
these
people
are
liked
for
their
values
other
than
their
characters.
Therefore,
it
is
not
necessary
that
the
entire
society
behaves
in
a
manner
similar
to
the
people
who
are
loved
by
the
masses.
Another
example
is
that
of
the
political
leaders
who
have
been
elected
by
the
people
of
a
country
to
lead
them.
If
they
have
been
elected
because
of
their
honesty
and
their
patriotism,
then
does
this
mean
that
the
entire
society
is
honest?
On
the
contrary,
what
if
one
of
the
politicians
is
corrupt
and
unscrupulous?
Will
this
reflect
the
character
of
the
people
who
have
elected
him?
The
people
who
have
elected
this
particular
politician
may
be
conservative,
honest
and
God-fearing,
but
it
is
unfortunate
that
the
true
character
of
the
politician
whom
they
have
elected
as
their
leader
is
hidden
from
them.
Even
if
they
can
see
his
true
form
after
he
has
already
been
elected,
a
close
examination
of
his
character
would
reveal
a
character
that
would
be
far
from
that
of
the
society
that
has
chosen
him.
In
view
of
the
above,
it
can
easily
be
concluded
that
the
character
of
a
society
and
that
of
the
people
idolized
by
the
society
are
not
related
in
any
way
whatsoever.
There
may
be
some
cases
wherein
someone
has
tried
to
imitate
the
character
of
the
person
he
considers
a
hero.
However,
on
the
whole,
the
character
of
a
society
is
independent
of
the
character
of
the
people
chosen
as
its
heroes
and
heroines.
In
other
words,
the
character
of
the
heroes
and
heroines
is
not
an
indication
of
the
character
of
the
society
that
has
chosen
them.
21. Governments
should
place
few,
if
any,
restrictions
on
scientific
research
and
development.
We
have
all
heard,
"Science
is
a
necessary
evil."
Why
was
this
saying
coined?
The
reason
is
evident
as
all
research
work
in
science
has
two
aspects.
The
results
of
scientific
research
can
be
used
both
for
constructive
purposes
as
well
as
for
destructive
purposes.
The
probability
of
the
result
of
a
scientific
research
being
misused
assumes
greater
importance
when
private
companies
and
organizations
are
carrying
out
the
research.
Therefore,
it
is
imperative
that
the
government
puts
some
form
of
restrictions
on
scientific
research
and
development.
Research
work
in
the
field
of
nuclear
science
has
always
been
a
controversial
issue.
The
energy
produced
by
nuclear
reactions
can
be
tapped
for
constructive
purposes
like
generation
of
power.
At
the
same
time,
this
nuclear
energy
can
also
be
utilized
for
developing
weapons
for
mass
destruction.
If
a
private
company
carries
out
research
for
fabricating
nuclear
weapons,
then
it
is
bound
to
make
a
lot
of
profit
by
selling
these
weapons
to
revolutionary
outfits
and
other
countries.
This
would
lead
to
a
volatile
situation
wherein
the
power
to
cause
destruction
on
a
large
scale
would
be
available
with
numerous
organizations.

22. The
luxuries
and
conveniences
of
contemporary
life
prevent
people
from
developing
into
truly
strong
and
independent
individuals.
As
per
the
author,
people's
independence
is
deteriorated
by
use
of
modern
facilities.
In
some
aspects,
this
is
true,
as
people
have
become
more
dependent.
However,
we
cannot
neglect
the
importance
of
many
things
in
our
lives.
Moreover,
despite
the
use
of
the
facilities,
humans
are
still
very
strong
and
independent
beings.
It
is
just
that
whenever
people
see
some
crimes
happening
around,
they
blame
the
luxurious
and
convenient
life
for
the
fecklessness,
irresponsible
behavior,
and
independence
of
contemporary
individuals.
However,
it
is
not
the
luxuries
and
conveniences
of
contemporary
life
that
hampers
the
healthy
development
of
individuals;
rather
it
is
the
attitudes
one
has
of
life
and
his
personality
that
guides
him
through
moral
development.
Before
discussing
this
topic,
one
should
be
clear
about
what
luxury
is.
Luxury
is
something
inessential
and
expensive
but
conducive
to
pleasure
and
comfort.
In
the
modern
times,
people,
especially
the
urban
population,
are
enjoying
the
luxurious
and
convenient
lives.
Ironically,
people
in
cities
encounter
much
difficulty
in
developing
themselves
into
truly
strong
and
independent
personalities
in
the
modern
"harmless"
life.
Technological
advancement
has
brought
humans
many
convenient
facilities,
which
are
useful
if
a
person
does
not
depend
on
them
completely.
These
facilities
help
humans
to
overcome
physical
difficulties,
which
were
otherwise
hard
to
conquest
by
mere
human
power.
Through
luxuries,
people
could
overcome
difficulties
caused
by
geography,
weather,
or
time
for
example,
car,
cell
phone,
computer,
airplanes
etc.
Cars
and
airplanes
take
people
from
one
place
to
another
in
less
time.
However,
people
start
depending
on
them
too
much.
They
get
into
the
habit
of
using
a
car
for
just
short
trips
to
a
store
at
a
corner.
They
avoid
walking
down
even
short
distances.
People
prefer
to
go
to
gyms
instead
of
walking
or
riding
a
cycle.
Many
people
spend
much
of
their
time
with
facilities
like
television
and
habitually
use
mobile
phones.
These
people
get
so
much
addicted
to
these
things
that
absence
of
these
facilities
makes
them
feel
insecure.
However,
this
partial
dependency
does
not
prove
that
people
are
less
strong
or
are
weakened
mentally
or
emotionally.
A
person
with
a
strong
personality
and
positive
attitude
toward
life
is
always
well
prepared
for
any
challenge
and
competition.
While
those
with
characteristic
deficiencies
or
negative
attitudes
towards
life
are
always
blaming
the
luxuries
or
poverty
for
the
failure
without
examining
the
actual
causes
that
may
be
lying
in
themselves.
However,
we
cannot
neglect
the
effect
of
the
improved
life
on
the
developing
of
individual
traits.
Without
proper
guidance,
today's
youth
may
well
take
it
for
granted
that
there
is
no
necessity
for
hard
work
and
responsibility
since
the
convenient
life
is
already
at
hand.
Hence,
they
should
be
explained
that
improvement
of
life
is
the
contribution
of
every
individual's
hard
work,
and
that
no
one
deserves
it
unless
he
also
does
his
contribution.
In
order
to
achieve
the
strength
and
soundness
of
personality,
one
should
set
up
healthy
attitudes
to
life
and
chasten
himself
through
competitions
and
failures.

A
nation
is
determined
by
its
people.
If
the
people
are
looked
after
well
by
their
leaders
and
their
welfare
is
always
kept
in
mind
whenever
major
political
decisions
are
taken,
then
it
is
evident
that
the
nation
will
progress
on
the
path,
which
leads
to
greatness.
This
is
because
the
well-being
of
a
nation
is
directly
related
to
the
well-being
and
welfare
of
its
people
who
constitute
the
nation.
The
greatness
of
a
nation
cannot
be
determined
by
a
handful
of
people
who
have
gained
popularity
and
fame
because
of
their
achievements
in
the
field
of
science
and
technology
or
politics.
24. The
best
way
to
teachwhether
as
an
educator,
employer,
or
parentis
to
praise
positive
actions
and
ignore
negative
ones.
Encouragement
helps
a
great
deal
in
bringing
up
any
quality.
A
positive
feedback
can
boost
the
morale
to
a
great
extent.
Such
learning
that
is
backed
with
positive
feedback
and
encouragement
is
effective
and
faster.
However,
I
disagree
that
negative
actions
should
be
ignored.
Along
with
praising
positive
actions,
it
is
very
important
to
point
out
the
negative
ones
so
that
they
are
not
repeated.
Teaching
involves
inculcating
good
habits
and
eliminating
bad
ones.
It
is
a
process
of
refining
the
personality
and
imparting
correct
knowledge.
If
it
does
not
fulfill
any
one
of
the
two
things,
it
is
incomplete
and
ineffective.
Education
can
be
imparted
in
many
ways.
However,
the
point
is
not
just
to
make
the
students
learn
their
lessons
anyhow
but
to
make
them
incorporate
what
they
learn
in
their
lives.
Moreover,
education
also
involves
teaching
those
things
that
the
child
is
not
able
to
pick
up
on
his
own.
This
can
be
done
only
if
they
are
taught
in
a
proper
way.
Children
in
school
are
in
their
growing
age.
What
they
are
taught
in
school
goes
on
for
all
their
lives.
Therefore,
it
is
important
that
along
with
appreciating
their
good
actions
they
are
told
about
the
places
where
they
are
wrong.
For
example,
a
child
may
be
brilliant
in
studies
and
may
score
well
in
all
subjects.
However,
he
may
not
be
friendly
and
polite
with
other
students.
He
could
be
a
bully
or
rude
to
others.
Here
it
is
not
only
important
to
encourage
the
child
to
do
well
academically
but
it
is
very
important
to
teach
him
how
to
behave.
If
this
is
not
done,
he
will
grow
up
to
be
an
unfriendly
person
who
is
not
accepted
in
the
society.
This
will
eventually
make
him
a
loner
since
no
one
will
want
to
interact
with
him.
Similarly,
parents
have
a
very
important
role
in
bringing
up
their
children.
Home
is
the
first
school
of
a
child.
A
child
has
no
knowledge
of
what
is
right
or
wrong.
He
picks
up
whatever
he
sees
around
him.
This
may
be
good
or
bad.
It
is
the
duty
of
parents
to
check
where
their
child
is
going
wrong.
They
should
teach
him
values
and
morals.
While
students
are
under
the
observation
of
educators
for
fixed
hours,
a
child
is
under
constant
observation
of
his
parents.
Therefore,
there
36
37
standardized
tests
out
there
for
them
as
of
yet.
The
next
problem
that
would
arise
is
what
about
the
group
of
students
who
are
taking
a
minority
subject,
say
for
example
anthropology?
The
judging
scheme
would
thus
be
different
since
it
does
not
take
into
account
the
entire
schooling
population
but
rather,
involve
only
a
small
minority
group.
Would
the
assessment
be
any
different
since
a
smaller
number
of
sample
size
is
affected?
My
first
point
of
the
lack
of
standard
gauging
tests
thus
hinges
on
this
argument,
which
clearly
show
it
would
be
unwise
and
untenable
to
tie
the
teacher's
salary
to
the
students'
performance.
In
addition
to
that,
if
a
teacher's
salary
were
to
be
based
on
students'
academic
performance,
this
would
bring
about
a
biased
way
of
giving
of
marks.
We
have
to
be
largely
aware
of
the
fact
that
students'
test
papers
are
graded
by
teachers,
and
if
a
teacher
receives
a
higher
salary
were
the
student
to
perform
well,
needless
to
say
there
would
be
many
unscrupulous
individuals
who
would
accord
their
students
higher
marks
to
their
own
benefit.
Critics
might
argue
that
assessment
of
a
particular
class
of
students
can
be
done
by
a
different
teacher,
but
I
foresee
a
system
that
would
be
plagued
with
corruption
and
bribery.
What
if
the
class
teacher
bribes
another
teacher,
or
what
if
the
teacher
intentionally
gives
bad
grades
because
they
know
that
it
would
affect
the
class
teacher
(who
might
be
someone
they
do
not
favor)?
Many
what-ifs
might
take
place,
which
would
ultimately
jeopardize
and
challenge
the
education
system.
In
light
of
that,
I
think
that
the
statement
is
not
valid
and
sound.
Furthermore
the
statement
can
only
hold
true
assuming
that
all
teachers
get
students
who
have
the
same
level
of
intelligence,
commitment,
determination
etc.
Teachers
who
are
teaching
better
performing
classes
would
most
definitely
have
the
upper
hand
since
their
students
would
do
better
compared
to
students
of
other
classes.
Even
if
we
were
to
base
it
on
the
percentage
of
improvement
of
a
student's
grade,
we
have
to
similarly
take
into
account
that
each
individual
is
different.
In
a
poor
performing
class,
the
improvement
ratio
of
a
student
willing
to
learn
and
another
who
is
not
concerned
with
academia
would
definitely
yield
different
percentages.
So
the
validity
of
the
statement
essentially
falls
back
on
a
student,
for
he/her
through
his
attitude
can
affect
the
teacher's
salary,
which
sounds
outright
fallacious.
In
a
nutshell,
based
on
all
the
reasons
provided,
I
find
myself
disagreeing
with
the
writer's
assertions.
As
of
now,
the
lack
of
a
standardized
test
and
the
many
variable
factors
that
are
in
place
would
not
make
this
plan
an
appropriate
one.

26. Society
should
make
efforts
to
save
endangered
species
only
if
the
potential
extinction
of
those
species
is
the
result
of
human
activities.
It
is
the
responsibility
of
humans
to
maintain
the
ecological
balance
of
our
planet
by
virtue
of
their
being
the
most
intelligent
creatures
on
earth.
Moreover,
Man
has
the
necessary
power
to
save
endangered
species
to
ensure
that
the
ecological
balance
of
the
Earth
is
not
disturbed.
However,
there
is
no
apparent
reason
for
society
to
save
endangered
species
at
costs
of
money
and
jobs
that
are
very
high.
Therefore,
it
is
essential
that
society
makes
all
possible
efforts
to
save
endangered
species,
but
if
the
costs
involved
are
sky
high,
then
the
society
can
choose
not
to
save
the
species
and
save
the
human
costs
instead.
We
no
longer
see
Dinosaurs
on
the
planet
whereas
they
freely
roamed
on
Earth
eons
ago.
Has
their
non-existence
made
any
difference
to
life
on
Earth?
It
can
be
accepted
that
their
disappearance
would
have
made
some
difference
to
the
food
chain,
as
they
were
one
of
the
most
prominent
predators.
However,
in
today's
context
their
absence
has
no
effect
on
the
food
chain
existing
on
the
planet.
Similarly,
it
is
highly
probable
that
the
extinction
of
a
particular
species
of
animals
may
be
of
no
consequence
in
the
future.
Therefore,
it
would
not
be
justified
to
spend
an
enormous
amount
of
money
in
trying
to
save
the
species.
On
the
other
hand,
if
the
species
can
be
saved
without
much
investment,
then
society
should
do
its
bit
to
preserve
the
environment
and
the
animals
that
live
therein.
The
same
line
of
reasoning
may
not
hold
true
for
certain
types
of
plants
and
animals.
This
is
because
apart
from
providing
nutrition,
certain
species
of
plants
and
animals
have
been
known
to
have
therapeutic
advantages
including
herbal
remedies.
For
instance,
cod-liver
oil
is
well
known
for
its
content
of
Omega
3
fatty
acids
that
help
you
fight
against
heart
disease,
cancer,
depression,
arthritis,
Alzheimer's
disease,
ulcers,
diabetes
and
a
host
of
other
diseases.
Plants
containing
Aloe
Vera
have
now
been
found
to
have
extremely
useful
healing
properties
and
all
the
species
containing
Aloe
Vera
are
now
in
high
demand.
Therefore,
society
may
have
to
make
an
attempt
to
save
any
of
these
species
if
they
are
endangered,
but
technology
has
now
developed
so
much
that
one
can
look
for
other
alternatives
if
the
cost
of
saving
these
species
goes
beyond
what
society
can
easily
afford.
There
are
certain
natural
events
that
are
beyond
the
control
of
society.
Recurring
floods,
storms,
forest
fires,
climatic
changes
etc.
may
be
playing
havoc
with
the
existence
of
certain
types
of
rare
species.
There
is
little
that
society
can
do
to
contain
such
events
in
such
a
way
that
the
species
are
preserved.
There
will
be
the
requirement
of
pulling
in
maximum
resources
for
making
efforts
to
save
every
endangered
species.
Society
will
need
to
go
to
extreme
extents
in
case
of
attempting
to
save
endangered
species
that
exist
at
high
altitudes
or
at
ocean
floors.
Therefore,
in
a
majority
of
cases,
society
should
avoid
making
an
attempt
to
save
endangered
species
that
would
require
colossal
efforts.
39
The
fact
remains
that
in
the
face
of
catastrophic
chain
effects
as
a
result
of
the
extinction
of
a
particular
plant
or
animal,
it
might
become
necessary
for
society
to
save
the
species.
Other
than
this
reason,
there
is
no
evident
reason
for
which
society
should
invest
huge
amounts
of
money
and
other
human
costs
to
save
each
and
every
species
of
plants
and
animals.
27. As
we
acquire
more
knowledge,
things
do
not
become
more
comprehensible,
but
more
complex
and
mysterious.
Knowledge
is
the
state
of
being
enlightened.
It
is
acquiring
information
and
skills,
which
help
you
to
understand
things
around
you
in
a
better
way.
It
also
helps
in
bringing
perfection
in
a
person's
work
and
life.
Knowledge
is
gained
consciously
as
well
as
unconsciously.
While
one
makes
an
effort
to
acquire
knowledge
through
getting
educated
and
becoming
learned
it
is
also
through
experience
that
one
becomes
knowledgeable.
It
is
however
questionable
as
to
why
gaining
knowledge
is
important.
As
discussed
earlier,
it
makes
you
understand
your
surroundings
better
and
bring
perfection
in
your
life.
Things
become
more
comprehensible
and
you
gain
confidence.
However,
as
a
person
gains
more
and
more
knowledge,
it
can
lead
to
details,
complexities
and
mysteries,
but
it
is
only
with
more
efforts
that
new
study
comes
to
light.
When
a
child
comes
into
this
world,
he
is
completely
ignorant
and
therefore
is
dependent
on
his
parents.
As
he
grows
up,
he
observes
things
around
him.
Slowly
he
gets
the
knowledge
about
what
is
good
and
what
is
bad
for
him.
It
is
only
when
he
gains
the
knowledge
of
his
surroundings
that
he
is
capable
of
being
on
his
own.
He
comes
to
know
that
by
putting
his
hand
in
a
fire,
he
might
get
burnt,
and
by
playing
with
sharp
objects
he
can
hurt
himself.
In
case
this
does
not
happen,
he
would
remain
dependent
upon
others
all
his
life.
Therefore,
knowledge
makes
you
independent
and
practical
in
life.
It
is
with
exercising
one's
brain
and
gaining
knowledge
that
we
are
living
in
this
age.
Without
the
knowledge
of
agriculture,
we
would
not
be
able
to
produce
food
for
ourselves,
without
the
knowledge
of
iron
we
would
not
be
able
to
set
up
industries.
Similarly,
the
knowledge
of
human
body
and
medicines
helps
us
to
keep
fit
and
live
a
healthy
life.
Such
things
are
basic
to
our
life
and
life
is
incomprehensible
without
them.
Apart
from
the
basic
knowledge
of
things,
one
needs
to
acquire
specific
knowledge
as
well.
That
makes
him
survive
in
the
world
by
making
a
place
for
himself.
For
example,
if
a
person
gains
the
knowledge
of
carpentry,
he
can
extend
his
knowledge
to
others
who
do
not
have
this
specific
skill
and
earn
his
living.
A
person
goes
on
acquiring
information
unless
he
is
satisfied.
However,
there
are
unlimited
things
unknown
to
man.
There
are
a
number
of
things
that
are
unexplainable
and
accepted
as
they
are.
It
is
only
with
the
efforts
of
someone
that
we
can
have
an
explanation
of
these
things.
We
did
not
know
anything
about
40
the
universe
unless
it
was
explored.
The
biggest
of
inventions
and
discoveries
have
been
possible
only
by
indulging
in
them.
If
we
retreat
our
steps
for
the
fear
of
getting
jumbled
up
in
complexities,
new
inventions
and
discoveries
would
never
be
possible.
However,
in
the
pursuit
of
acquiring
knowledge,
one
must
not
lose
ground
and
get
lost
in
the
complexities.
While
it
is
important
to
gain
knowledge,
it
is
also
important
to
keep
your
balance
and
not
get
lost
in
finding
solutions
to
mysterious
and
complex
situations.
28. Some
people
believe
that
scientific
discoveries
have
given
us
a
much
better
understanding
of
the
world
around
us.
Others
believe
that
science
has
revealed
to
us
that
the
world
is
infinitely
more
complex
than
we
ever
realized.
It
differs
from
person
to
person
what
level
of
understanding
of
the
world
they
are
expecting
science
to
give
them,
which
divides
them
in
opinion.
If
knowing
everything
about
nature
what
everything
is,
why
they
are,
what
determine
their
behavior
and
why
so
is
the
quest,
then
science
has
its
limits
in
answering.
Science
can
tell
you
what
an
electric
field
does
to
a
charge,
but
not
what
it
is
exactly,
and
why
it
is.
These
questions
and
their
answers
lie
beyond
the
realm
of
scientific
discoveries.
On
the
contrary,
how
nature
works,
the
basic
laws
governing
the
phenomenon
we
encounter,
is
the
understanding
scientific
discoveries
can
provide
us
with.
Science
is
the
study
of
nature,
what
can
be
observed
and
measured
by
us.
Thus,
through
measurements
and
observation,
scientific
discoveries
have
explained
the
phenomenon
around
the
world.
For
example,
in
the
Southern
Hemisphere,
colored
curtain-like
patches
are
observed
in
the
night
sky;
scientific
community
has
explained
that
this
is
due
to
motion
of
charged
particles
in
the
magnetic
field
of
earth
and
ionizing
the
particles
in
the
earths
atmosphere.
This
very
motion
of
charges
in
magnetic
field
is
used
as
the
principle
for
moving
them
in
cyclotron
and
the
famous
LHC.
There
are
many
more
examples
showing
how
our
understanding
of
the
world
is
affected
by
the
scientific
discoveries.
The
discovery
of
genes,
being
the
cause
of
traits
of
organism,
gave
way
to
genetic
engineering,
cloning,
mix-breeding,
designer
baby
and
what
not.
This
made
us
understand
the
basis
of
some
our
human
traits.
Everyday
new
researches
are
carried
out,
discovering
which
hormones
play
role
in
occurrence
of
which
emotions
and
feeling,
adding
to
our
knowledge
of
human
mind
and
heart.
Science
has
not
just
explained
physical
and
psychological
phenomenon,
but
is
also
probing
the
materials
available
around,
that
made
life
possible,
in
the
first
place.
NASA
has
undertaken
various
missions
to
search
signs
of
extra-terrestrial
life
on
our
moon,
Mars,
and
now
Europa.
They
study
rock
samples,
availability
of
41
water,
and
the
atmosphere,
and
thus,
adding
to
our
vision
of
the
world.
Back
to
earth,
there
are
various
investigations
going
on
to
understand
the
ocean
life,
minerals,
and
the
magnetic
field
of
the
Earth
and
the
inner
layers
of
it.
These
are
adding
to
what
we
know
about
the
world,
and
thus
we
are
using
them
in
our
stride.
The
direct
evidence
of
our
knowledge
of
the
world
is
the
technology
we
have
in
hand.
If
ever
we
lacked
in
understanding,
we,
particularly
the
engineers
and
scientific
community,
could
not
have
used
scientific
discoveries
to
make
our
lives
easier.
With
the
knowledge
of
light
being
an
electromagnetic
wave,
came
the
era
of
fast
communication,
Internet.
With
the
discovery
of
constant
speed
of
light,
through
the
Special
Theory
of
Relativity,
came
GPS
system
in
service.
Further,
understanding
semiconductor
brought
the
digitalization
of
every
gadget
and
their
shrinking
dimensions,
followed
by
nanotechnology.
All
this
is
a
gift
of
understanding
the
world
through
scientific
knowledge.
Given
the
restricted
span
of
science,
limited
to
what
can
be
observed,
it
has
given
us
much
better
understanding
of
the
world
around
us.
Every
aspect
of
nature-
phenomenon,
organisms
and
materials,
has
been
exploited
by
man
to
make
his
life
easier,
through
development
of
technology,
which
wouldnt
have
been
possible
without
knowing
nature.
29. In
any
situation,
progress
requires
discussion
among
people
who
have
contrasting
points
of
view.
It
is
always
a
good
thing
to
have
a
healthy
discussion
wherein
people
have
contrasting
points
of
view.
Such
a
discussion
enables
everyone
participating
in
the
discussion
to
address
the
issue
from
the
perspective
of
the
others.
However,
can
you
force
someone
else
to
agree
to
your
viewpoint?
On
the
contrary,
how
many
times
have
you
agreed
with
the
viewpoint
of
the
other
person
or
have
you
ever
agreed
that
you
are
wrong
and
that
the
other
person
is
right?
We
as
humans
always
try
to
stick
to
our
viewpoint
and
rarely
admit
that
we
are
wrong.
Therefore,
can
a
discussion
among
people
with
contrasting
points
of
view
proceed
in
the
right
direction?
It
is
true
that
everyone
will
learn
something
new
as
he
sees
the
issue
from
a
different
angle,
but
it
would
be
wrong
to
assume
that
such
a
discussion
can
actually
lead
to
progress
and
that
this
would
be
the
best
way
to
make
progress.
On
the
contrary,
it
is
very
rare
to
make
progress
in
the
right
direction
when
the
participants
of
a
discussion
do
not
see
eye
to
eye
with
each
other
on
the
issue
being
discussed.
Consider
the
example
of
a
committee
that
has
been
constituted
to
work
out
the
modalities
for
the
implementation
of
a
publicity
campaign.
What
do
you
expect
will
happen
if
the
members
of
the
committee
have
contrasting
viewpoints
on
the
method
to
be
adopted
for
the
publicity
campaign?
If
the
members
of
the
42
committee
do
not
agree
to
a
common
method
for
the
launch
of
the
publicity
campaign,
how
can
one
expect
the
details
of
the
campaign
to
be
worked
out?
The
members
of
the
committee
who
are
of
the
view
that
spending
money
on
advertising
in
the
print
media
is
a
total
wastage
of
money
will
definitely
oppose
those
who
think
that
the
print
media
is
as
important
as
the
television
media.
Each
member
will
try
his
best
to
criticize
the
viewpoint
of
the
other
members
in
a
bid
to
defend
his
own
viewpoint.
The
discussion
can
progress
further
only
if
all
members
agree
on
a
common
method
and
then
only
can
the
other
details
be
worked
out.
There
can
be
no
progress
if
the
participants
of
the
discussion
stick
to
their
viewpoints,
which
are
in
stark
contrast
to
those
of
the
others.
Such
a
discussion
would
lead
to
total
chaos
and
wastage
of
time.
The
only
solution
lies
in
either
forcing
some
of
the
participants
to
agree
to
the
viewpoints
of
the
others
or
finding
a
solution
that
both
parties
agree
to.
Isn't
this
always
the
best
method
to
steer
a
discussion
in
a
direction
that
will
lead
to
progress?
We
have
always
heard
of
cases
wherein
discussions
were
fruitful
because
the
participants
either
agreed
on
an
issue
unanimously
or
found
a
common
ground
where
everyone
agreed.
Whenever
a
discussion
goes
out
of
hand,
the
person
chairing
the
discussion
opts
for
carrying
out
voting
to
arrive
at
the
solution,
which
is
agreed
to
by
a
majority
of
the
participants.
This
is
done
because
it
is
certain
that
a
discussion
cannot
progress
in
the
right
direction
if
the
participants
have
contrasting
points
of
view.
30. Governments
should
not
fund
any
scientific
research
whose
consequences
are
unclear.
The
government
of
a
country
shoulders
a
great
responsibility
of
keeping
its
populace
happy.
For
the
betterment
of
its
people,
there
are
times
when
the
government
has
to
make
decisions
that
are
met
with
severe
criticism.
There
are
chances
that
some
decisions
go
against
the
nation
in
the
long
run
and
the
government
is
later
apologetic
about
it.
In
some
cases,
the
impact
of
a
decision
of
one
country
is
felt
by
other
nations
as
well.
It
is,
thus,
very
essential
that
a
government
keeps
in
mind
the
goodwill
of
its
people,
and
the
world
as
a
whole,
before
any
decisions
are
taken.
This
is
exceptionally
true
for
a
government
in
matters
related
with
scientific
research.
Where
I
do
not
completely
agree
with
the
views
of
the
author,
I
cannot
disagree
with
him
either.
In
my
view,
deep
contemplation
should
precede
any
decision-making
regarding
research
and
regular
checks
during
the
research
should
ensure
that
medical
and
ethical
consequences
are
foreseen.
It
is
only
through
research
that
we
can
make
progress.
Scientific
research
is
like
a
chain
reaction
and
one
invention
or
discovery
leads
to
another.
In
most
cases,
discoveries
are
accidental
but
inventions
are
a
result
of
directed
efforts.
A
discovery
in
itself
is
not
sufficient,
it
is
only
after
research
is
carried
out
that
the
true
potential
of
a
thing
is
realized
and
exploited.
One
cannot
limit
oneself
while
43
researching
unless
there
are
set
objectives
that
one
is
trying
to
achieve.
Scientific
research
is
not
only
for
the
purpose
of
inventing
something
new;
it
is,
in
fact,
a
means
of
increasing
one's
knowledge
about
the
various
advancements
taking
place
all
around
the
world.
How
else
would
any
country
be
able
to
make
use
of
any
development-taking
place
anywhere
in
the
world?
Since
the
progress
of
any
nation
depends
on
its
government,
it
becomes
obligatory
for
the
government
to
fund
research
work.
Where
funding
projects
is
important,
it
is
equally
vital
for
the
government
to
keep
a
track
about
whatever
research
is
happening.
There
are
some
medical
and
ethical
questions
that
are
always
associated
with
research
work,
but
mostly
we
have
to
overlook
such
issues.
For
instance,
one
cannot
do
away
with
experimenting
on
rats
for
research
purpose
until
an
equally
good
substitute
is
found.
Besides,
a
government
has
to
decide
pragmatically
what
gains
priority.
In
most
cases,
the
results
of
research
work
are
unclear.
It
is
only
when
experimentation
is
carried
out
and
observations
are
made,
that
the
true
value
of
a
research
is
brought
out.
It
is
nearly
impossible
to
work
upon
a
subject
if
the
minds
of
researchers
are
restricted
and
their
funds
are
limited.
In
my
view,
research
should
be
funded,
but
the
medical
and
ethical
consequences
should
be
weighed
from
time
to
time.
It
is
not
wise
to
freeze
funds
before
any
headway
is
made
and
consequences
are
apparent.
Take
for
instance
cloning.
We
all
know
that
cloning
of
humans
would
lead
to
unimaginable
tribulations.
There
is
no
point
in
a
country's
investing
in
such
research.
Nonetheless,
cloning
endangered
species
shall
help
conserve
them.
For
this
purpose,
it
becomes
necessary
for
a
country
to
research
in
this
direction.
In
today's
world,
it
is
essential
that
every
nation
be
independent
in
terms
of
scientific
research
and
technological
advancement.
Countries
that
have
progressed
in
science
and
technology
are
the
ones
that
are
the
most
developed
and
powerful.
Some
developing
and
underdeveloped
nations
lack
the
infrastructure
and
funds
to
support
research
while
others
like
U.S.A.
are
leaders
in
scientific
development.
At
the
same
time,
the
governing
body
of
a
country
should
be
abreast
with
what
the
scientific
fraternity
of
the
country
is
doing
and
should
impose
restrictions
wherever
necessary.

31. Society
should
identify
those
children
who
have
special
talents
and
provide
training
for
them
at
an
early
age
to
develop
their
talents.
This
statement
rightly
states
that
if
children
with
special
talents
get
training
at
an
early
stage,
then
they
can
do
wonders
in
their
respective
fields.
It
is
necessary
to
identify
these
children
to
give
them
the
right
direction.
Otherwise,
if
these
children
do
not
get
the
chance
and
the
facilities,
they
might
be
lost
and
it
will
be
a
loss
to
the
society.
Sometimes,
gifted
children
do
not
have
means
to
develop
their
talents.
Hence,
it
is
the
society
or
government's
duty
to
nurture
their
talents.
It
can
be
access
to
musical
instruments
or
providing
education.
If
a
child
has
a
special
talent
in
scientific
facts
and
researches,
then
he
needs
access
to
science
labs.
In
the
realms
of
science,
especially
in
physics,
it
is
important
for
society
to
pay
more
attention
on
genius
kids
so
that
they
can
eventually
excel
in
research
in
the
future.
If
one
gets
the
facilities
to
grow
then
he
might
prove
a
prodigy
for
the
society.
Similarly,
students
with
outstanding
talents
for
sports
should
be
selected
and
trained
separately.
It
will
for
make
sure
that
they
show
their
special
talents
to
the
maximum
extent.
Special
training
can
polish
a
child
and
can
produce
an
extraordinary
athlete.
The
children
need
to
be
trained
at
an
early
stage
and
they
need
special
coaching
to
win
medals.
They
need
special
coaches.
If
they
get
the
right
guidance,
they
can
smash
all
the
previous
records.
There
should
be
special
schools
where
students
at
the
same
level
should
be
admitted
and
special
training
should
be
provided
to
them.
In
a
free
academic
atmosphere,
students
will
feel
motivated,
a
sense
of
competition
will
be
there,
and
it
will
constantly
stimulate
him
or
her
to
advance
in
the
specific
areas
of
his
interest.
This
facility
cannot
be
provided
by
common
schools.
However,
giving
attention
to
the
children
with
special
abilities
should
not
mean
neglecting
other
kids.
Providing
facilities
to
specially
gifted
kids
should
not
be
at
the
expense
of
other
children.
Giving
attention
to
some
children
might
divide
the
children
into
fractions,
which
can
cause
ill
effects
on
the
delicate
minds
of
the
children.
It
would
be
undemocratic
to
give
preference
to
some
kids
over
others.
The
un-chosen
children
might
feel
neglected
and
inferior.
That
would
lead
to
childhood
trouble.
The
children
who
will
get
more
attention
and
facilities
might
have
the
feeling
of
superiority
and
they
might
misuse
their
talent
and
facilities
to
harm
the
society.
Sometimes,
parents
also
push
their
children
with
special
talents
and
affect
their
childhood
and
other
times,
parents
simply
refuse
to
acknowledge
their
kids'
special
talents.
Hence,
considering
all
these
factors,
it
is
important
for
the
society
to
identify
children
with
special
talents
and
to
nurture
them.
However,
they
have
to
take
care
not
to
neglect
other
children.
It
should
not
lead
to
social
and
economic
disparity.
A
well-planned
training
or
a
talent
program
will
systematically
train
the
talented
child
on
his
way
to
reach
the
full
potential
at
an
early
age.

33. Claim:
When
planning
courses,
educators
should
take
into
account
the
interests
and
suggestions
of
their
students.
Reason:
Students
are
more
motivated
to
learn
when
they
are
interested
in
what
they
are
studying.
There
is
nothing
more
beautiful
than
the
sight
of
an
inquisitive
young
mind.
Such
a
mind
is
engrossed
in
such
an
academic
pursuit
that
education
no
longer
becomes
a
burden
but
a
passion.
Course
planning
which
take
into
account
suggestions
from
students
are
bound
to
result
in
effective
curricula.
Interest
is
the
main
motivation
to
education.
If
education
to
a
student
is
merely
an
exercise
of
burden
then
such
education
would
make
no
lasting
impact
on
the
life
of
the
student.
However,
an
education
that
catches
the
interest
of
a
student
becomes
not
just
an
education
where
it
is
the
duty
of
the
teacher
to
input
knowledge
to
the
student,
but
the
student
makes
his
responsibility
to
see
that
he
is
well
learned.
Education
becomes
a
hobby
for
the
student.
The
only
way
to
achieve
this
is
to
utilize
curricula,
which
instigate
such
interest
in
students.
However,
knowledge
of
such
interest
inspiring
techniques
can
only
come
from
student
inputs.
Student
may
suggest
a
game/sport
approach
to
learning.
Educators
may
incorporate
academic
materials
with
video
games
to
gain
student
attention.
Course
materials
may
be
organized
into
puzzles,
which
may
attract
student
attention.
Students
may
also
suggest
their
liking
for
stories
and
movies.
Educators
could
relate
course
material
through
story
telling
(like
interesting
history
behind
a
concept)
or
through
documentaries.
Also
students
may
also
mention
procedures,
which
they
find
difficult
to
cope
with
perhaps
too
many
assignments.
Educators
in
this
way
are
able
to
have
a
feedback
on
their
teaching
style
and
objectively
judge
what
means
to
better
their
curricula.
However,
the
downside
to
taking
student
input
is
that
sometimes
student
suggestions
may
be
borne
out
of
laziness.
Elementary
and
high
school
students
in
particular
are
usually
not
bothered
with
the
quality
of
education
they
receive
and
are
may
want
academic
courses
which
are
not
effective.
Such
suggestions
do
not
have
to
be
taken
by
educators
but
these
suggestions
help
notify
educators
of
the
need
to
find
ways
of
gaining
student
attention.
Also,
since
humans
vary,
the
suggestion
of
various
students
may
be
conflicting
and
adopting
all
student
contribution
may
prove
impossible
for
educators
to
accomplish.

34. The
greatness
of
individuals
can
be
decided
only
by
those
who
live
after
them,
not
by
their
contemporaries.
How
does
one
decide
the
greatness
of
a
person?
It
would
be
unjust
to
claim
that
that
the
people
who
live
after
that
person
are
the
only
ones
who
can
pass
a
judgment
on
his
greatness.
The
people
who
have
lived
with
him
are
equally
responsible
for
elevating
the
person's
status
to
that
of
a
great
personality.
Therefore,
a
person's
greatness
can
be
evaluated
not
only
by
the
people
who
live
after
him,
but
also
by
the
people
who
belong
to
the
same
generation
and
are
his
contemporaries.
The
effects
of
a
person's
actions
may
be
seen
years
after
his
death.
The
history
of
man
is
full
of
the
works
of
such
persons
who
were
scorned
by
their
contemporaries
for
putting
forth
ideas
that
were
opposed
by
the
societies
of
those
times.
For
instance,
the
society
could
not
accept
the
theory
of
evolution
put
forth
by
Charles
Darwin
as
he
related
the
evolution
of
man
to
that
of
the
apes.
However,
years
after
his
death,
people
have
elevated
the
status
of
Charles
Darwin
from
a
common
scientist
to
that
of
a
great
man.
This
is
because
he
had
been
successful
in
putting
forth
the
theory
that
has
been
scientifically
proven
to
be
true
years
after
his
death.
Galileo
Galilei,
Copernicus
and
Kepler
all
stood
by
the
theory
that
the
Earth
is
not
static
and
it
is
not
at
the
center
of
the
universe
and
their
contemporaries
did
not
accept
their
theory.
Galileo
was
even
charged
with
blasphemy
by
the
Pope.
However,
today
we
all
know
that
the
earth
revolves
around
the
sun
and
these
scientists
have
found
their
way
into
our
history
books
as
great
men.
On
the
contrary,
if
one
considers
the
works
of
artists
and
writers,
it
is
seen
that
most
of
these
people
were
given
due
credit
for
their
work
by
their
contemporaries.
Writers
like
Shakespeare,
Mark
Twain,
Robert
Frost
etc.,
were
held
in
high
regard
by
their
contemporaries
and
these
good
reviews
helped
in
making
these
writers
great
in
their
field
of
work.
Painters
and
musicians
like
Leonardo
DaVinci,
Mozart
and
Beethoven
were
all
admired
by
their
contemporaries
for
their
immeasurable
talent.
Even
today,
these
writers
and
artists
are
accepted
as
great
people
because
of
the
appreciation
that
they
had
earned
centuries
ago.
The
efforts
of
freedom
fighters
can
be
appreciated
by
their
contemporaries
to
a
great
extent
because
they
have
lived
to
see
the
effects
of
being
under
foreign
rule
and
they
have
also
seen
the
effort
and
dedication
put
in
by
the
freedom
fighters
to
free
their
nation.
Hence,
they
will
be
in
a
better
position
to
decide
the
greatness
of
freedom
fighters
as
compared
to
the
future
generations
who
do
not
know
the
ill
effects
of
being
under
a
foreign
rule.
Therefore,
the
people
who
live
after
the
freedom
fighters
have
long
gone
will
probably
not
be
able
to
appreciate
their
greatness
as
they
will
not
be
able
to
identify
themselves
with
the
situation
that
existed
long
before
they
were
born.
A
careful
study
of
the
examples
quoted
above
clearly
establishes
the
fact
that
it
is
not
necessary
that
the
greatness
of
men
can
be
decided
by
the
people
who
live
after
them.
There
are
numerous
instances
when
their
contemporaries
have
established
the
greatness
of
men
during
their
lifetimes.
Therefore,
great
men
48
have
been
given
their
due
by
both
their
contemporaries
and
by
the
people
who
lived
after
them.
35. Students
should
always
question
what
they
are
taught
instead
of
accepting
it
passively.
Knowledge
flows
from
a
learned
to
a
learner.
A
school
or
college
is
an
educational
institute
where
teachers
are
the
learned
and
students
are
the
learners.
Although,
teaching
and
learning
is
a
two
way
process
between
a
teacher
and
a
student,
it
is
the
teacher
with
whom
lies
the
responsibility
of
imparting
education.
Students
are
naive
and
ignorant
about
the
ways
and
means
of
gaining
knowledge.
There
are
endless
topics
and
subjects
completely
new
to
them.
It
is
not
possible
for
them
to
choose
and
decide
what
they
need
to
study.
Only
the
one,
who
are
thorough
with
these
topics,
can
decide
how
to
make
them
easy
and
interesting
for
the
students
at
different
levels.
They
are
better
at
selecting
or
rejecting
a
certain
portion
of
the
topics,
depending
on
its
relevance
and
importance.
For
instance,
in
lower
classes
the
learning
of
formulae
in
mathematics
and
science
and
rules
of
grammar
in
languages
may
not
be
comprehended
well
by
students.
It
is
not
easy
to
explain
to
them
the
reasons
for
those
rules,
at
such
an
early
age.
Even
derivation
of
mathematical
formulae
for
young
children
will
prove
to
be
a
waste
of
effort.
To
ease
the
burden
of
students,
trained
professionals
frame
the
curriculum
for
different
levels.
The
difficulty
level,
the
selection
of
topics,
division
of
lessons
along
with
a
link
with
previous
and
next
standards
is
looked
after
by
the
experts
who
frame
the
curriculum.
Students
who
do
not
even
have
complete
knowledge
of
any
topic
are
not
at
all
in
a
position
to
make
a
decision.
Instead
of
being
skeptic
about
the
topics
being
taught,
they
should
welcome
all
the
new
things
and
clear
their
doubts
wherever
necessary.
There
are
times
when
the
queries
of
the
students
cannot
be
answered
due
to
time
constraints
or
their
inability
to
understand
the
real
details.
It
is
quite
natural
that
due
to
an
overly
inquisitive
and
restless
mind,
some
students
come
up
with
endless
doubts
and
seek
detailed
explanation
thereby
distracting
the
whole
class
from
the
topic
being
discussed.
Manipulating
or
ignoring
them
gently
will
be
beneficial
in
enhancing
the
concentration
on
the
topic
and
will
also
help
in
completing
the
syllabus
on
time.
If
for
the
sake
of
satisfying
the
students,
teachers
do
not
draw
a
limit,
then
no
topic
will
ever
be
completed
and
understood
fully.
Therefore,
along
with
the
framed
curriculum,
it
is
the
responsibility
of
the
experienced
lot
(teachers)
to
proceed
in
the
interest
of
the
ignorant
students.
49
50
The
aspect
of
our
lives
that
is
the
most
affected
because
of
this
is
our
own
health.
The
changes
in
our
lifestyles
leave
no
room
for
exercise,
recreation
and
indulgence.
There
is
seldom
any
time
to
relax
and
even
if
there
is
any,
thanks
to
mobile
phones
and
laptops,
we
are
rarely
out
of
reach
and
out
of
occupation.
How
many
times
have
you
socialized
with
friends
without
receiving
any
unexpected
call
to
interrupt
conversations?
Sadly,
our
bodies
cannot
keep
pace
with
these
changes.
Besides
an
alarming
increase
in
chronic
diseases,
there
is
a
lot
of
stress
that
people
face
in
their
lives.
Though
the
average
life
expectancy
has
increased,
it
is
basically
medicines
on
which
our
populations
are
surviving.
Along
with
physical
ailments,
our
minds
are
getting
increasingly
corrupted.
Humility,
cooperation,
patience,
tolerance,
truthfulness,
selflessness;
such
qualities
are
hardly
innate
now.
People
have
to
consciously
make
efforts
to
inculcate
such
traits,
where
they
were
an
integral
part
of
our
values
in
the
past.
When
it
comes
to
children,
parents
are
happier
to
see
their
child
competing
to
be
the
best
rather
than
becoming
a
good
human
being.
Since
it
is
money
that
matters
now,
people
are
directing
their
energies
in
one
direction
only.
It
is
work,
competition
and
success
all
around
us
with
our
lives
more
comfortable
yet
more
intricate.
37. Claim:
It
is
no
longer
possible
for
a
society
to
regard
any
living
man
or
woman
as
a
hero.
Reason:
The
reputation
of
anyone
who
is
subjected
to
media
scrutiny
will
eventually
be
diminished.
51
It
was
very
difficult
for
people
to
get
to
know
about
their
heroes
when
media
was
not
introduced.
This
technological
innovation
has
revolutionized
the
social
structure.
People
can
follow
their
heroes
all
the
time.
These
people
are
heroes
because
we
have
made
them
so
and
without
our
support
they
would
not
be
as
famous
as
they
are.
Media
scrutiny
does
not
affect
those
social
figures
that
are
indeed
heroes
in
their
respective
fields.
Mahatma
Gandhi
was
one
such
example
as
media
scrutinized
all
his
acts
but
he
was
such
an
able
man
that
it
did
not
affect
him
at
all.
Gandhi
not
only
got
independence
for
India
but
also
made
a
place
in
the
hearts
of
people,
which
will
keep
him
alive
in
their
deeds.
He
set
an
example
that
non-violence
can
achieve
great
results
and
till
date
people
follow
his
principles.
There
were
rumors
of
Gandhi
having
rifts
with
his
son
but
that
did
not
diminish
his
image.
He
was
a
human
being
after
all
and
like
every
father
and
son
they
also
had
their
arguments,
which
certainly
do
not
make
Gandhi
a
bad
man.
In
the
same
manner
the
actors
and
leaders
are
also
looked
up
to
by
people
as
their
heroes
and
if
they
commit
some
mistake
that
certainly
do
not
make
them
bad
human
beings.
Although,
it
would
not
be
correct
on
our
part
to
regard
our
heroes
as
good
or
bad
only
based
on
media
scrutiny
but
this
is
certainly
happening
these
days.
It
is
entirely
up
to
the
media
how
to
portray
a
situation
and
if
an
incident
in
a
celebrity's
life
is
portrayed
in
a
wrong
way
then
that
can
prove
to
be
fatal
for
that
celebrity's
fan
following.
Princess
Diana
was
one
such
example.
She
was
literally
worshipped
by
her
fans
and
one
incident
of
wrong
media
coverage
shattered
her
image.
Media
coverage
does
plays
an
important
role
in
making
or
breaking
a
person's
image
but
it
is
very
difficult
to
misguide
public
these
days.
Public
also
understands
that
media
is
either
exaggerating
or
showing
wrong
image
of
popular
personalities.
At
the
same
time
if
the
media
scrutiny
is
justified
then
certainly
the
true
picture
should
come
in
front
of
public.
38. Competition
for
high
grades
seriously
limits
the
quality
of
learning
at
all
levels
of
education.
Today's
world
is
full
of
competition
in
every
field.
There
is
so
much
of
talent
around,
that
this
competition
is
inevitable.
Whichever
field
one
chooses,
whether
its
academics,
sports,
business,
politics,
entertainment
or
media,
there
is
a
race
that
everyone
participates
in
to
win.
Although,
this
is
healthy
and
is
a
sign
of
progress,
the
quality
of
work
suffers
at
time.
The
same
is
the
case
with
competitions
for
high
grades.
Students,
at
every
level
of
education
are
so
much
pressurized
to
excel
that
they
start
compromising
on
the
quality
of
learning.
52
The
parents
and
the
education
system
pressurize
students,
to
excel
in
each
and
every
subject
in
terms
of
their
scores.
Instead
of
giving
a
choice
to
pursue
for
more
knowledge
and
develop
understanding
in
the
subjects
of
their
choice,
they
are
taught
in
a
time-bound
and
syllabus-bound
system
since
their
early
school
days.
The
evaluation
pattern
is
such
that
those
seeking
deeper
understanding
of
a
certain
topic/subject
are
de-motivated.
They
are
judged
merely
on
the
basis
of
their
score,
which
generally
calls
for
rote
learning.
The
quality
of
learning
is
bound
to
deteriorate
when
preference
is
given
to
those
who
can
cram
and
reproduce,
at
least
till
the
secondary
level
of
school.
In
high
school
and
colleges,
in
some
of
the
disciplines
more
emphasis
is
laid
upon
application
based
education.
Although,
this
is
a
healthy
practice,
the
learning
is
still
exam
oriented
rather
than
concept
forming.
Availability
of
more
and
more
tutorials
that
boast
of
preparing
the
students
for
competitive
exams
emphasize
on
short
cuts
and
tricks
to
attempt
the
paper
in
lesser
time.
The
giving
away
of
such
techniques
is
increasing
the
number
of
aspirants
who
are
grilled
to
get
through
without
possessing
sound
knowledge
of
the
subject
matter.
This
further
increases
the
competition
thereby
neglecting
the
actual
comprehension
and
application
of
the
concepts
on
a
student's
behalf.
Mostly
these
competitive
exams
end
up
judging
the
speedy
applications
of
practiced
techniques
and
not
real
learning.
Besides,
in
a
classroom
both
pupil
and
teacher
are
constrained
so
much
by
time
and
syllabus
that
the
topics
covered
cannot
be
explored
beyond
a
point.
The
education
and
evaluation
systems
are
such
that
pupils,
teachers,
parents
and
even
school
administrations
have
to
target
the
exams
to
excel
in
the
competition.
Less
emphasis
is
laid
upon
concept
building
and
more
on
attempting
the
exams.
The
very
system
of
education,
evaluation
and
selection
are
so
flawed
that
even
at
the
highest
levels
of
education,
more
weight
age
is
given
to
scores
when
compared
to
quality
learning.
Though,
scholars
excelling
with
quality
education
can
not
be
ignored,
a
majority
of
students
end
up
being
rote
learners
good
at
merely
reproducing
the
learned
facts.
The
deterioration
in
the
quality
of
education
is
due
to
the
growing
competition
for
higher
grades.
Reforming
the
education
system
starting
from
the
primary
level
itself
can
check
this.
Moreover,
methodologies
should
be
adopted
to
evaluate
the
understanding
and
deeper
knowledge
of
students
along
with
their
abilities
to
apply
the
acquired
knowledge.
53
39. Educators
should
teach
facts
only
after
their
students
have
studied
the
ideas,
trends,
and
concepts
that
help
explain
those
facts.
Why
is
understanding
a
particular
concept
always
given
preference
over
mugging
it
up?
This
is
because
once
you
have
understood
a
concept;
it
is
unlikely
that
you
will
forget
it
that
easily.
On
the
other
hand,
something
that
has
been
memorized
by
cramming
it
up
will
last
in
your
memory
for
a
couple
of
days
only.
The
education
system
stresses
a
lot
on
the
explanation
of
concepts
and
teaching
the
ideas
and
trends
that
are
behind
the
facts,
which
have
to
be
learnt.
If
understanding
the
basic
concepts
was
not
all
that
important,
then
there
would
be
no
requirement
of
teaching
in
schools.
Students
could
be
given
a
long
list
of
facts
and
they
could
be
told
to
just
memorize
them.
However,
this
is
not
the
case.
This
is
because
students
will
not
be
able
to
learn
anything
by
merely
memorizing
the
facts.
They
should
study
the
concepts
that
explain
the
facts
before
they
attempt
to
memorize
those
facts.
Acquiring
knowledge
and
the
application
of
that
knowledge
are
two
different
aspects
of
learning.
It
is
easy
to
acquire
knowledge
by
reading
and
memorizing
facts.
This
way
you
cannot
become
learned
as
you
would
be
unaware
about
the
concepts
that
have
led
to
the
establishment
of
these
facts
and
you
will
not
be
able
to
apply
the
knowledge
that
you
have
acquired
by
memorizing.
Moreover,
you
will
not
be
able
to
analyze
other
related
aspects
on
your
own
as
you
would
have
learnt
very
little
by
memorizing
facts.
For
example,
simply
memorizing
the
speeds
of
light
and
sound
are
not
as
important
as
understanding
the
difference
between
these
two
speeds
and
how
they
are
related
to
each
other.
Unless
you
are
clear
about
this
concept,
you
will
not
be
able
to
either
understand
or
explain
the
reason
behind
the
lightening
phenomenon
wherein
one
sees
the
lightening
first
and
hears
the
thunder
later;
whereas
both
these
events
have
occurred
simultaneously.
Being
able
to
explain
this
phenomenon
would
mean
that
you
have
actually
learnt
something
rather
than
just
being
able
to
rattle
out
the
figures
related
to
the
speeds
of
light
and
sound.
Children
studying
in
kindergarten
are
taught
the
shapes
and
sounds
of
the
alphabets
before
they
are
taught
the
spellings
of
common
words.
There
is
no
school
in
the
world,
which
would
advocate
memorizing
the
spellings
of
words
before
understanding
the
phonetics
related
to
the
alphabets.
Even
if
a
child
does
memorize
the
spellings
of
words
without
understanding
the
phonetics
involved,
how
long
will
he
be
able
to
retain
those
spellings?
Even
if
he
does
remember
those
spellings
for
an
unusually
long
time,
will
he
be
able
to
work
out
the
spellings
of
more
difficult
words
on
his
own?
The
answer
to
this
question
would
be
a
definite
'no'.
This
means
that
the
child
would
have
learnt
almost
nothing
by
memorizing
the
spellings
without
understanding
the
concepts
of
alphabets
and
phonetics.
On
the
other
hand,
if
he
has
understood
the
sounds
and
shapes
of
the
alphabets,
then
he
will
have
no
difficulty
either
in
memorizing
the
spellings
of
common
words
or
in
reading
and
writing
difficult
words
later
on
in
life.
Hence,
it
is
obvious
that
memorizing
facts
after
studying
the
explanations
to
those
facts
will
help
the
students
to
learn
in
a
better
way.
54
Understanding
the
system
that
sustains
life
and
allows
us
to
grow
and
develop
in
this
technically
savvy
world
is
not
very
easy.
However,
you
have
to
make
all
efforts
to
understand
these
concepts
if
you
want
to
be
well
educated
in
life.
It
cannot
be
said
that
you
have
learnt
something
if
you
have
merely
memorized
the
facts
as
you
are
likely
to
forget
these
facts
when
you
are
no
longer
in
touch
with
your
studies.
Therefore,
the
better
option
would
be
to
gain
an
in-depth
understanding
of
whatever
is
being
taught
and
you
are
bound
to
retain
the
knowledge
gained
for
the
rest
of
your
life.
40. Young
people
should
be
encouraged
to
pursue
long-term,
realistic
goals
rather
than
seek
immediate
fame
and
recognition.
We
all
aim
to
achieve
great
heights
in
our
professional
front.
Nothing
comes
easy
in
this
world.
We
all
have
to
strive
hard
to
achieve
our
aim
in
life.
It
is
very
well
said
that
timely
hard
work
leads
to
sweet
fruit
of
success.
All
those
who
work
hard
in
their
lives
taste
the
sweet
fruit
of
success.
The
present
generation
is
forgetting
the
true
meaning
of
success.
The
younger
generation
is
aiming
at
getting
overnight
success
in
their
careers.
In
the
present
scenario
nobody
wants
to
work
hard
for
success
but
they
want
success
on
the
very
first
step
of
their
careers.
I
believe
that
the
younger
generation
should
be
shown
the
true
path
of
hard
work
and
success
as
that
would
lead
to
their
true
success.
They
should
be
encouraged
to
get
their
final
goal
in
life
rather
than
running
after
momentarily
success.
We
all
fight
in
our
lives
to
prove
ourselves
in
the
rat
race
of
earning
our
livelihood.
We
all
are
in
a
hurry
to
prove
ourselves
in
our
respective
fields.
In
this
run
the
true
essence
of
success
is
getting
lost.
The
present
generation
is
running
after
only
fame
and
recognition.
This
is
resulting
in
adoption
of
wrong
means
to
do
work
to
obtain
success.
The
need
for
success
is
making
people
blind
and
they
are
instigated
to
adopt
all
the
wrong
means
to
fulfill
their
aim.
We
have
numerous
examples
of
people
from
our
past
generation
who
struggled
in
their
lives
and
came
out
shining
bright
in
their
respective
fields.
There
is
no
denying
that
sheer
hard
work
surely
pays.
There
is
a
very
famous
saying
that
slow
and
steady
wins
the
race.
It
is
correct
in
context
to
all
fields
of
life.
When
in
life
we
are
deliberate
in
making
our
decisions
then
the
outcome
is
remarkable
as
the
decision
was
well
thought
over.
Therefore,
the
chances
of
doing
something
wrong
are
minimized
to
a
great
extend.
The
various
technological
developments,
which
are
the
result
of
many
years
of
research
and
hard
work,
have
made
our
day
to
day
life
easy
and
simple.
The
scientists
have
put
in
so
much
effort
and
hard
work
in
inventing
all
such
innovations.
Therefore
hard
work
has
always
resulted
in
remarkable
achievements.
55
Although
the
outcome
of
hard
work
is
always
credible
but
people
who
get
instant
fame
and
recognition
in
life
are
hardworking
too.
It
is
the
creativity
of
those
persons
that
has
shown
them
the
doors
of
success
in
life.
In
spite
of
the
fact
that
few
people
are
successful
early
in
their
life
it
certainly
does
not
mean
that
the
way
to
success
is
always
short.
Those
who
strive
hard
always
get
blessed
with
success
in
life.
Therefore,
younger
generation
should
be
encouraged
to
achieve
their
long-term
goals
rather
than
running
after
short-term
success.
Short-term
success
is
short
lived
and
long
term
goals
yield
true
success
in
life.
41. If
a
goal
is
worthy,
then
any
means
taken
to
attain
it
are
justifiable.
There
is
no
doubt
that
goals
are
necessary
for
the
growth
of
an
individual
and
the
development
of
the
society.
Every
individual
dreams
to
achieve
his
goal.
However,
to
say
that
any
means
taken
to
attain
it
is
justifiable
is
not
correct.
There
are
both
positive
and
negative
aspects
of
this
statement.
It
depends
on
the
individual
whether
he/she
takes
the
positive
side
or
the
negative
side.
Sometimes,
based
upon
the
distinct
function
of
the
worthy
goals,
it
appears
that
any
means
taken
to
achieve
the
purpose
is
justifiable.
However,
a
balance
is
required
considering
the
morality
factor.
It
is
a
common
accepted
fact
that
goals
provide
directions
to
people's
actions
and
make
their
actions
more
purposeful.
It
helps
in
improving
the
conditions
of
human
beings
and
the
world.
Sometimes
it
is
essential
to
take
extreme
steps
in
some
sense;
it
becomes
justifiable
to
use
some
extreme
tackles
to
gain
the
meaningful
goal.
For
example,
independence
war
of
India
against
British
Empire.
Usually
wars
are
considered
a
serious
loss
to
nations,
however,
this
war
was
to
eliminate
the
slavery
in
India
and
for
setting
true
democracy
in
India.
It
is
also
true
that
the
benefits
of
attaining
the
goal
of
this
war
cannot
reverse
the
effects
it
had
on
the
nation's
heart
and
mind.
However,
it
cannot
be
ignored
that
it
gave
birth
to
the
largest
democracy
of
the
world.
However,
it
cannot
be
said
that
one
can
use
any
means
to
achieve
his
goal.
A
very
general
example
is
that
if
a
person
has
a
goal
to
become
a
millionaire
then
it
does
not
mean
that
he
can
attain
his
goal
by
any
means.
He
cannot
be
allowed
to
rob
a
bank
and
say
that
his
goal
is
now
achieved
and
it
is
justifiable.
On
the
other
hand,
if
the
goal
for
an
individual
is
to
study
in
the
best
university
and
if
he/she
works
very
hard
to
get
through
it
and
studies
day
and
night
without
any
concern
about
what
people
say,
then
this
can
be
called
justifiable.
Hence,
it
is
difficult
to
predict
whether
any
goal,
which
a
person
is
seeking,
is
worth.
At
times,
maybe
some
measures
would
lead
to
a
side
effect
and
even
worsen
the
situation.
56
People
have
to
take
some
basic
moral
standards
into
account
before
taking
extreme
measures
to
fulfill
their
goals.
In
the
absence
of
logical
steps,
a
valuable
goal
loses
its
meaning.
A
worthy
goal
is
a
purpose
that
would
benefit
the
entire
humanity
and
the
society.
A
personal
goal
should
not
be
above
the
national
or
global
cause.
For
example
if
you
take
the
instance
of
cloning,
it
can
achieve
a
peerless
level
in
the
biology
science.
However,
all
the
nations
are
very
cautious
to
develop
this
technology
as
cloning
may
lead
to
a
chaos
in
ethic.
Moreover,
terrorists
can
misuse
it.
Thus,
you
cannot
justify
all
means
of
attaining
a
worthy
goal.
Hence,
an
individual
should
consider
the
means,
which
help
to
achieve
a
worthy
goal.
The
result
should
be
materialistically
as
well
as
morally
correct.
42. In
order
to
become
well-rounded
individuals,
all
college
students
should
be
required
to
take
courses
in
which
they
read
poetry,
novels,
mythology,
and
other
types
of
imaginative
literature.
The
statement
claims
that
students
should
be
required
to
take
courses
in
which
they
can
read
various
types
of
literature
in
order
to
become
well-rounded
individuals.
It
is
true
that
reading
poetry,
novels
or
other
kinds
of
literature
is
beneficial
to
students
mind
and
imagination,
which
might
cultivate
well-
rounded
individuals.
However,
from
my
perspective,
there
is
no
need
to
make
all
college
students
attend
these
courses.
Forcing
college
students
to
take
part
in
such
courses
is
likely
to
have
adverse
effects
since
not
all
students
are
interested
in
reading
these
literature
works.
Reading
imaginative
literature
has
some
positive
influence
on
students
minds.
With
imaginative
literature,
students
can
obtain
some
knowledge
and
thoughts
they
can
hardly
get
from
reality.
They
can
also
cultivate
their
minds
as
well
as
letting
their
imagination
soar.
For
instance,
by
reading
Walden,
students
are
likely
to
appreciate
the
beauty
of
nature
and
share
the
tranquility
and
pleasure
the
author
once
had;
by
reading
Nineteen
Eighty-Four,
students
would
understand
freedom
is
of
very
great
importance
and
thus
be
willing
to
fight
for
democracy;
by
reading
Greek
mythology,
students
could
experience
different
lives
of
heroes.
Therefore,
through
attending
courses
in
which
they
can
touch
diverse
books,
college
students
are
more
likely
to
have
a
positive
attitude
toward
life
and
develop
right
values.
Also,
reading
books
not
only
helps
them
think
deeply
but
also
inspires
their
imagination.
All
of
these
desirable
qualities
are
essential
for
a
well-rounded
individual.
57
However,
letting
all
college
students
participate
in
such
courses
is
a
little
bit
unrealistic
and
unnecessary.
Not
every
student
likes
reading
imaginative
literature.
Demanding
students
to
take
this
course
might
cause
adverse
results.
After
all,
interest
is
the
best
teacher
for
every
student.
Students
who
are
interested
in
other
fields
may
become
very
bored
during
class
and
pay
little
attention
to
what
they
read
and
what
the
teacher
says.
Due
to
this
fact,
the
aim
of
making
students
become
well
rounded
could
hardly
be
achieved.
In
addition,
for
the
sake
of
cultivating
well-rounded
individuals,
taking
courses
in
which
students
read
various
books
is
not
the
only
way
since
other
means
can
also
help
students
improve
imagination,
set
right
values
or
hone
critical
thinking
ability.
For
instance,
students
attending
courses
in
which
they
can
learn
dance,
painting
or
sculpture
are
also
expected
to
become
well-rounded
students
since
these
courses
are
very
similar
to
literature
courses
in
some
aspects.
Therefore,
universities
need
not
require
all
college
students
to
take
literature
courses.
In
conclusion,
if
students
are
very
interested
in
reading,
attending
these
courses
may
benefit
them
since
reading
can
teach
students
a
lot,
helping
them
have
a
positive
attitude
toward
life.
In
contrast,
students
who
are
not
fond
of
reading
can
hardly
become
well
rounded,
even
though
they
attend
these
courses.
Actually,
the
recommendation
mentioned
above
is
not
the
only
way
to
develop
all-rounded
individuals.
Other
courses
have
the
same
effects
on
students
who
like
them.
43. In
order
for
any
work
of
artfor
example,
a
film,
a
novel,
a
poem,
or
a
songto
have
merit,
it
must
be
understandable
to
most
people.
The
speaker
claims
that
any
work
of
art-whether
film,
literature,
sculpture,
or
a
song
has
merits
only
if
it
is
understandable
to
most
people.
What
the
author
fails
to
realize
is
that
popularity
and
merit
are
two
different
things.
This
statement
is
controversial
in
this
time.
While
the
value
of
art
is
not
related
to
the
accessibility
to
people,
the
acceptability
and
understandability
is
important
to
enlighten.
However,
we
should
agree
with
the
writer
that
most
of
the
folk
art
is
understandable
to
the
common
people
and
benefit
them
in
many
ways.
It
is
human
nature
that
they
learn
from
what
they
understand
like
fairy
tales,
films,
music
etc.
Few
people
have
interest
in
abstract
or
obscure
art
works.
Common
people
do
not
understand
classical
music
but
when
the
same
is
presented
in
the
form
of
songs
or
film
music,
it
attracts
them
and
gets
famous.
The
comprehensible
art
works
often
arouse
readers'
or
audiences'
interest
or
enthusiasm.
Therefore,
the
essence
whether
the
creators'
feeling,
ideas,
or
values
are
likely
imparted
to
receivers.
A
series
of
Harry
Potter
films
are
an
example.
These
movies
have
attracted
children
and
adults
all
over
the
world
alike
due
to
its
recreation
and
understandability
factor.
The
more
understandable
the
work
58
is,
the
more
popular
it
is
with
people
and
hence
more
is
its
value.
There
is
also
an
example
of
fairy
tales
by
a
Denmark
novelist
Andersen.
He
has
used
understandable
and
vivid
interpretation,
which
has
influenced
generations
of
young
children
in
the
world
and
even
shed
light
on
adult
world.
However,
at
the
same
time,
the
artwork
should
not
be
only
for
monetary
gain
and
lucrative
and
entertaining
purpose.
If
it
is
so
then
the
writer
is
correct
in
saying
that
these
merits
lie
in
popularity
and
understandability
of
art.
Sometimes,
the
understandable
artwork
does
well
also.
For
example,
due
to
popularity
of
Harry
Potter
films,
numerous
audiences
were
attracted
to
cinemas.
This
popularity
has
also
benefited
the
author
of
the
novel
and
now
the
audience
and
readers
highly
value
the
author
as
one
of
the
most
valuable
novelists.
However,
there
are
many
instances
where
several
artistic
works
with
great
value
cannot
be
understood
and
recognized
by
contemporary
people.
Sometimes,
even
the
most
sensitive
critics
are
not
able
to
work
out
and
evaluate
the
true
and
actual
value
of
the
art.
Therefore,
it
is
simply
not
possible
for
the
general
public
to
understand
its
value,
who
do
not
receive
particular
trainings
and
specialized
knowledge.
There
are
many
examples
where
the
artwork
of
many
artists
was
not
given
due
respect
and
reorganization
when
the
artist
was
alive.
People
just
could
not
recognize
their
value.
However,
later
on
after
their
death,
their
work
got
place
in
the
history
of
art.
Van
Gogh
was
a
famous
painter
whose
work
was
not
acknowledged
by
people
during
his
lifetime.
He
could
sell
only
one
of
his
paintings
at
a
low
price
all
over
his
career.
However,
decades
later,
people
began
to
recognize
the
value
of
his
paintings.
Recently,
two
of
his
paintings
have
broken
all
records
as
they
were
sold
at
a
price
of
50
million
dollars
in
an
exhibition.
In
the
end,
it
can
be
said
that
people's
opinion
may
or
may
not
influence
the
price
and
popularity
of
a
certain
artwork
but
it
cannot
change
its
merit.
44. Many
important
discoveries
or
creations
are
accidental:
it
is
usually
while
seeking
the
answer
to
one
question
that
we
come
across
the
answer
to
another.
Although
there
are
many
incidents
in
history
where
discoveries
occurred
by
accident
or
it
happened
while
searching
answers
to
some
other
problems,
however,
there
are
many
other
discoveries,
which
were
sought
out
purposely.
Hence,
we
cannot
generalize
that
most
discoveries
are
accidental.
The
author
has
given
this
statement
based
on
some
examples
from
the
history,
but
this
statement
is
overstated.
In
this
statement,
the
author
has
given
more
importance
to
serendipity,
which
is
not
correct.
59
However,
you
cannot
ignore
many
accidental
discoveries
in
the
world.
There
are
many
examples
in
history
to
support
the
author.
For
instance,
Columbus
discovered
a
new
continent,
America,
while
he
was
on
his
route
to
find
West
Indies
for
trade.
Similarly,
the
discovery
of
very
important
drug,
Penicillin
that
is
one
of
the
earliest
antibiotics,
by
Fleming
was
also
accidental.
There
are
many
other
anthropological
examples
in
the
history
where
geologists
stumbled
upon
important
artifacts
in
quest
to
understand
earth's
structure.
These
discoveries
tell
them
about
the
previous
civilizations
in
those
places.
However,
these
were
the
cases
when
technology
was
not
very
advanced.
Hence,
there
were
not
many
inventions,
creations,
and
discoveries
on
purpose
in
those
times.
Nevertheless,
that
is
not
the
case
now.
These
days
astronomers
use
more
powerful
telescopes
to
discover
new
planets
and
to
know
more
about
space.
Because
of
these
discoveries
and
new
technology,
we
know
so
much
about
our
atmosphere
and
planet.
It
also
helps
us
to
know
about
the
earth's
weather
in
advance.
There
are
many
planned
researches
by
biologists
to
discover
new
medicines
and
new
therapies
for
various
diseases.
Most
of
the
times,
scientific
discoveries
are
planned.
Scientists
research
lot
for
the
existing
facts
and
data
before
applying
the
information
to
create
a
new
thing.
Most
of
these
discoveries
are
made
through
a
scientific
approach.
Drug
companies
have
the
pressure
of
their
customers
and
shareholders
to
avoid
random
pursuits.
At
the
time
of
its
discovery,
even
importance
and
use
of
penicillin
was
not
known.
It
was
in
1939
that
a
group
of
scientists
did
intensive
research
and
were
able
to
demonstrate
penicillin's
ability
to
kill
infectious
bacteria.
Hence,
this
discovery
was
also
used
after
planned
research.
Similarly,
creations
are
also
not
baseless
and
instant.
They
are
more
engineered
and
based
on
the
existing
knowledge.
Semiconductors,
internal
combustion
engines
cannot
be
treated
as
accidental
discoveries.
These
are
based
upon
the
existing
scientific
principles.
However,
there
might
be
some
discoveries
whose
later
effects
are
not
foreseen.
For
example,
ARPANET
was
started
on
a
small
scale
as
a
data
communication
system,
which
was
used
to
share
data
among
engineers
at
different
universities.
However,
later
on
it
got
famous
as
Internet.
In
these
modern
days,
many
companies
are
working
in
the
business
of
creating
or
discovering
new
things
to
make
our
lives
comfortable.
They
hire
many
engineers
and
scholars
to
work
on
these
projects.
Hence,
not
all
the
discoveries
can
be
known
as
accidental.
We
must
not
give
more
credit
to
accidental
discoveries
than
the
actual
work
done
by
scholars
and
researchers.

45. The
main
benefit
of
the
study
of
history
is
to
dispel
the
illusion
that
people
living
now
are
significantly
different
from
people
who
lived
in
earlier
times.
This
statement
is
difficult
to
discuss.
The
significance
of
the
study
of
history
cannot
be
discussed
in
few
words.
It
would
be
naive
to
say
that
the
chief
benefit
of
the
study
of
history
is
to
break
down
the
illusion
that
people
in
one
period
of
time
are
significantly
different
from
people
who
lived
at
any
other
time
in
history.
However,
during
the
process
of
studying
history,
people
do
realize
that
they
actually
share
much
in
common
with
their
ancestors,
in
spite
of
various
superficial
differences.
During
the
study
of
history,
people
find
that
the
life
styles
of
people
are
variable
from
one
period
to
the
other.
However,
some
basic
human
nature
always
remains
the
same.
In
the
earlier
times,
people
mainly
depended
on
pigeons
and
then
letters
to
correspond
with
others,
while
in
modern
times
with
the
advanced
technology,
Internet,
telephone,
television,
automobile
are
the
main
methods
for
us
to
communicate
with
others.
They
used
to
travel
from
one
place
to
other
on
horses
and
camels.
It
is
but
natural
that
as
the
technology
changes,
there
come
changes
in
the
lifestyles
of
people.
However,
no
matter
in
which
period
one
lives,
some
values
and
merits
always
remain
the
same
and
get
appreciated
by
people
of
that
period.
No
matter
how
many
changes
our
society
has
experienced,
some
characteristics
such
as
bravery,
self-discipline,
righteousness,
fidelity
to
friends,
family
and
nations,
spirit
of
never
giving
up,
altruism
are
still
praised
by
people.
Also,
people's
pursuit
for
truth
and
beauty
remains
the
same.
The
spirit
behind
gaining
the
knowledge
and
searching
for
new
things
also
remains
the
same.
The
main
purpose
to
do
research
and
the
methods
used
might
be
different
but
they
are
all
aimed
to
come
closer
to
truth.
For
example,
the
doctrines
of
Socrates,
Plato,
and
Aristotle
are
different
and
incompatible
to
each
other
but
the
spirit
of
pursuing
the
truth
has
passed
down
from
one
to
another.
Similarly,
people
use
different
art
forms
to
express
their
feelings.
The
form
of
art
might
be
different
in
different
periods.
However,
the
essence
behind
all
the
art
forms
is
the
same,
which
is
longing
for
beauty.
More
or
less,
modern
theories,
technologies,
or
conceptions
cannot
avoid
being
influenced
by
their
predecessors,
and,
consequently,
they
inherit
merits
and
demerits
of
the
past
and
establish
themselves
finally.
The
study
of
history
benefits
human
beings
in
many
ways
like
it
can
help
us
avoid
the
same
mistakes
as
our
predecessors
did.
Some
mistakes
of
our
ancestors
were
disastrous
for
humanity
and
societies.
In
order
to
ensure
the
smooth
movement
of
our
society
it
is
must
to
avoid
those
mistakes.
For
instance,
the
Second
World
War
was
the
worst
thing
that
happened
to
our
society
and
it
is
necessary
to
ensure
that
this
kind
of
mistake
never
happens
again.
61
Hence,
from
the
perspective
of
life
styles
of
different
people
are
different
from
each
other.
However,
there
are
many
other
aspects
in
which
people
in
any
period
of
time
are
quite
the
same.
Therefore,
the
chief
benefit
of
studying
history
is
not
to
break
any
illusion
but
to
learn
from
the
past
and
to
avoid
the
mistakes
done
by
people
in
the
past.
46. Learning
is
primarily
a
matter
of
personal
discipline;
students
cannot
be
motivated
by
school
or
college
alone.
The
statement
given
implies
that
in
any
kind
of
learning
whether
it
is
sports,
education
or
something
else,
the
person
who
wants
to
learn
must
have
some
strong
will,
persistence
and
other
personal
discipline
abilities
and
learner
cannot
be
motivated
by
motivations
by
his
or
her
school
or
colleges
alone.
As
the
statement
is
a
factual
truth
itself
and
there
are
plenty
of
real
life
examples
that
can
be
seen
in
every
field
of
learning,
so
i
would
prefer
to
agree
with
it.
Firstly,
as
a
matter
of
fact
in
any
kind
of
field
things
like
hard
work,
persistence
is
mandatory
to
enthrall
the
success.
For
instance,
in
field
of
education
every
student
is
not
the
same
and
not
everyone
gets
pure
erudite.
There
are
some
students
have
great
hunger
of
knowledge
and
they
just
give
their
hundred
percent
to
learning
and
show
persistence
in
their
learning,
but
other
reluctantly
learn
who
definitely
don't
get
success.
So
such
a
simple
example
shows
that
self-
discipline
is
must
in
learning
fields.
Similarly,
some
students
do
have
the
ability
to
persist
learning,
but
they
havent
given
proper
motivation
and
they
fail
to
achieve
what
they
want.
For
example,
some
students
are
neglected
in
schools
by
teachers
for
their
outside
physical
impression
like
a
student
who
is
interested
much
in
sports
and
not
in
studies,
but
such
student
might
have
great
potential
in
studies
also.
If
their
parents
or
some
other
people
motivate
these
students
properly
then
they
can
perform
great
in
both
sports
and
studies
also.
Therefore,
motivation
plays
an
important
role
in
learning
process
and
some
students
really
need
properly
motivated.
On
the
other
hand,
the
schools
or
colleges
sometimes
also
play
major
role
in
helping
and
motivating
a
student
for
learning.
A
better
example
would
be
of
students
who
are
neglected
by
their
parents.
Some
parents
don't
care
much
their
childs
school
or
college
and
they
just
blindly
believe
on
the
schools
and
colleges
to
take
care
of
students
studies.
In
such
cases
the
schools
and
colleges
do
have
great
responsibility
to
motivate
the
student
and
lead
him
to
good
learning
habits.
So
sometimes
depending
on
type
of
student
the
schools
and
colleges
also
play
important
role
in
motivation.
62
On
conclusion,
the
learning
is
surely
the
matter
of
self-discipline
in
most
of
the
cases.
The
schools
and
colleges
do
play
their
role
in
motivation
depending
on
the
situation
of
the
student,
but
even
with
the
greatest
motivations
it
is
on
the
student
that
how
much
he
or
she
gets
influenced
by
motivation
for
learning.
47. Scientists
and
other
researchers
should
focus
their
research
on
areas
that
are
likely
to
benefit
the
greatest
number
of
people.
Research
work
in
any
area
is
carried
out
to
look
for
answers
to
existing
questions
or
to
dig
for
information
that
was
hitherto
unknown.
How
can
then
one
assess
whether
the
results
of
the
research
work
would
be
successful
or
not?
Even
if
there
is
a
strong
possibility
of
the
results
being
successful,
how
can
one
ascertain
how
many
people's
lives
would
be
improved
by
these
results
because
no
one
knows
what
the
results
would
be
like.
The
need
to
provide
a
high
priority
to
the
question,
"How
many
people's
lives
will
be
improved
if
the
results
are
successful?"
is
therefore,
highly
unjustified.
Before
starting
research
work
on
any
subject,
the
priorities
of
the
research
team
would
involve
planning
the
method
in
which
they
have
to
carry
out
their
research
work,
the
time
constraints,
the
ideal
end
result
that
they
are
looking
for
etc.
It
is
true
that
the
effect
of
the
results
on
the
lives
of
people
will
also
be
an
important
aspect
that
has
to
be
considered,
but
this
question
cannot
be
accorded
a
high
priority,
as
we
would
be
incapable
of
accurately
judging
the
number
of
people
whose
lives
would
be
improved.
Even
if
one
does
arrive
at
an
estimate
of
the
number
of
people
whose
lives
would
be
improved,
one
will
have
to
take
into
account
the
side
effects
of
the
results
as
well.
All
the
results
of
any
form
of
research
work
can
be
used
for
both
positive
as
well
as
negative
purposes.
If
we
start
taking
the
negative
aspects
of
the
results
of
research
work
into
consideration,
then
it
is
unlikely
that
we
will
be
able
to
justify
the
conduct
of
a
majority
of
research
works
in
all
fields.
When
the
research
work
on
atomic
energy
was
being
carried
out,
could
there
have
been
an
estimate
of
the
number
of
people
whose
lives
would
be
improved
by
the
results
of
the
research
work?
On
the
contrary,
millions
of
people
lost
their
lives
and
even
more
people
are
living
with
the
aftermath
of
the
atomic
explosions
at
Hiroshima
and
Nagasaki.
Had
the
researchers
been
able
to
foresee
this
effect
that
the
results
of
their
research
work
had
on
mankind?
There
is
no
denying
the
fact
that
a
number
of
people
have
benefited
from
the
results
of
the
said
research
work
as
it
has
led
to
the
generation
of
power
as
well.
Even
if
the
negative
impact
of
the
research
work
had
been
foreseen
and
it
had
been
given
a
63
high
priority,
then
stopping
the
research
work
could
have
led
to
a
scenario
wherein
the
generation
of
nuclear
power
would
not
have
been
possible.
The
controversial
research
work
on
genetic
mutations
may
affect
the
lives
of
millions
of
people
by
finding
the
cures
for
various
terminal
diseases.
However,
the
results
of
such
a
research
work
can
also
be
used
for
altering
the
genetic
makeup
of
humans
and
animals
to
create
monsters.
Hence,
it
is
evident
that
the
effect
of
the
results
of
a
research
work
on
the
lives
of
people
should
not
be
given
a
high
priority
as
one
cannot
predict
the
turn
of
events
that
might
take
place
once
the
results
are
available
for
common
use.
Therefore,
it
is
in
the
interest
of
the
society
that
all
forms
of
research
work
should
be
allowed
to
progress
without
paying
much
importance
to
the
number
of
people
who
are
likely
to
see
improvements
in
their
lives
as
a
result
of
the
consequences
of
the
research
work.
48. Politicians
should
pursue
common
ground
and
reasonable
consensus
rather
than
elusive
ideals.
What
is
politics?
Is
politics
restricted
to
the
government
and
the
political
leadership
that
implements
policies,
which
affect
the
lives
of
millions
of
citizens?
Most
people
consider
politics
as
something
that
is
represented
by
corruption,
competition
and
a
race
to
gather
votes.
However,
the
truth
is
that
politics
is
a
game
of
power.
Certain
individuals
are
granted
the
power
and
authority
to
provide
solutions
to
the
existing
conflicts
in
a
society
or
an
organization.
Therefore,
it
is
not
necessary
that
politics
is
limited
to
the
government
only.
One
can
come
across
politics
in
an
organization
or
institution
that
has
given
its
employees
the
empowerment
to
elect
a
group
of
people
to
govern
their
functioning
and
also
resolve
their
conflicts.
In
either
case,
the
goal
of
politics
has
to
be
the
pursuit
of
an
ideal
situation
or
else
the
people
in
power
may
find
it
very
difficult
to
identify
the
restrictions
and
policies
that
are
essential
for
the
smooth
functioning
of
the
country
or
organization.
Searching
for
common
ground
and
reasonable
consensus
may
lead
to
issues
that
remain
unresolved
especially
since
none
of
the
conflicting
parties
would
like
to
make
an
adjustment
to
their
demands.
One
can
see
the
example
of
an
organization
where
the
power
to
make
undisputed
decisions
lies
with
the
boss.
Even
in
the
past,
all
tribes,
empires
and
countries
had
leaders
and
rulers
who
made
the
decisions
to
resolve
conflicts
for
maintaining
peace
and
harmony
in
their
reign.
There
was
no
need
for
them
to
search
for
common
grounds
and
reasonable
consensus.
This
was
because
such
a
decision
could
have
been
cited
by
some
party
at
some
other
time
to
demand
justice.
64
In
present
times,
the
elected
governments
that
exist
in
most
countries
make
the
task
of
politics
much
easier.
It
is
the
people
who
have
elected
the
political
leaders
to
power
and
they
are
the
ones
who
can
change
the
leadership
at
the
center
if
it
does
not
come
up
to
their
expectations.
The
same
holds
true
for
organizations
wherein
the
employees
of
the
company
have
elected
the
top
management.
Therefore,
the
leadership
has
to
carefully
set
an
ideal
goal
for
itself
in
the
form
of
rules,
regulations
and
policies.
They
should
not
deviate
from
their
ideal
even
if
it
means
losing
their
power.
This
is
a
major
stumbling
block
for
a
majority
of
leaders.
Who
would
not
like
to
always
remain
in
power?
Therefore,
the
need
to
arrive
at
a
common
ground
or
reasonable
consensus
arises
because
all
politicians
try
their
best
not
to
disappoint
their
vote
bank
while
resolving
an
issue.
However,
in
the
long
run
this
can
prove
to
be
detrimental
for
the
well
being
of
a
nation
or
organization
as
a
whole,
because
the
society
would
be
living
in
conditions
that
are
far
from
ideal
and
this
is
definitely
not
what
was
in
mind
while
electing
the
leadership
at
the
center.
If
there
are
two
parties
fighting
over
an
environmental
issue
or
an
educational
issue,
how
should
the
matter
be
resolved?
Should
the
leadership
favor
the
solution
that
has
been
arrived
at
by
studying
common
ground
or
should
the
leadership
look
for
what
the
ideal
solution
is
in
such
a
scenario
and
implement
that
irrespective
of
the
damage
it
does
to
the
face-value
and
vote
bank
of
the
political
party?
The
first
solution
will
effectively
lead
to
the
end
of
the
disagreement
between
the
two
parties,
but
the
solution
would
be
far
from
the
ideal
situation
that
would
have
been
the
best
for
the
society.
The
second
solution
would
definitely
disappoint
one
of
the
parties,
but
the
nation
would
gain
from
such
a
decision
as
it
would
lead
the
society
towards
an
ideal
situation,
but
unfortunately,
it
might
jolt
the
leadership
out
of
power.
Therefore,
despite
the
heavy
risks
involved,
the
best
option
for
politics
is
to
maintain
a
goal
that
is
the
pursuit
of
an
ideal
no
matter
how
expensive
it
might
prove
to
be.
This
is
because
attaining
such
a
goal
will
result
in
the
betterment
of
the
entire
society
as
a
whole.
49. People
should
undertake
risky
action
only
after
they
have
carefully
considered
its
consequences.
The
statement
claims
that
people
should
undertake
risky
action
only
after
they
have
carefully
considered
its
consequences.
Under
some
circumstances,
this
recommendation
is
favorable
and
beneficial
since
careful
consideration
of
consequences
would
help
people
steel
themselves
to
manage
any
likely
results.
However,
in
some
cases,
people
do
not
have
enough
time
to
think
carefully.
Also,
cautious
consideration
may
prevent
people
from
doing
long
shots,
causing
them
to
lose
great
opportunities.
65
It
goes
without
saying
that
having
careful
consideration
before
undertaking
risky
action
is
helpful
to
people.
On
the
one
hand,
people
are
more
likely
to
make
right
decisions
after
enough
thinking.
On
the
other
hand,
considering
all
anticipated
consequences
could
assist
people
to
prepare
for
any
outcome.
Take
warfare
for
example.
Before
war,
each
side
must
consider
carefully.
One
side
must
think
what
the
other
sides
action
is
likely
to
be
and
what
consequences
it
might
lead
to.
With
the
help
of
this
reflection,
commanders
are
likely
to
make
right
decisions
under
different
consequences.
Therefore,
cautious
consideration
is
helpful
to
people
since
risky
action
may
cause
serious
consequences
and
people
should
have
enough
preparation
for
the
sake
of
avoiding
being
at
a
loss
what
to
do.
However,
in
some
cases,
there
is
not
enough
time
for
people
to
make
careful
consideration
and
thus
this
recommendation,
though
commendable,
is
sometimes
unrealistic
and
infeasible.
Any
delay
means
opportunities
are
irredeemably
lost.
Take
battlefield
for
example
again.
It
is
true
that
before
battle
each
side
should
consider
carefully
its
outcomes
of
every
action.
However,
because
the
situation
is
changing
fast
and
haphazardly,
no
one
can
have
a
thorough
consideration
of
all
consequences.
In
this
case,
when
the
war
begins,
some
events
occurring
on
a
battlefield
might
require
an
army
respond
quickly
and
decisively.
Otherwise,
the
opportunities
to
win
the
battle
are
likely
to
disappear.
In
addition,
if
the
house
is
on
fire
and
someone
is
trapped
in
the
burning
house,
there
is
no
time
for
a
firefighter
to
think
what
consequence
may
be
if
he
or
she
goes
into
the
house
to
rescue
this
person
simply
because
any
delay
would
lead
to
death.
Thus,
in
times
of
emergency,
the
statement
mentioned
above
is
unrealistic
and
impractical.
Moreover,
careful
consideration
may
have
a
negative
influence
on
people,
preventing
them
from
doing
any
risky
action.
For
instance,
if
people
think
most
consequences
of
this
action
are
desirable
except
a
seriously
bad
one,
they
may
become
too
timid
to
undertake
this
action
even
though
the
likelihood
of
success
is
great.
Being
afraid
of
doing
any
actions
sometimes
means
losing
a
great
number
of
opportunities.
In
conclusion,
in
some
cases,
the
recommendation
is
desirable
for
it
can
help
people
prepare
for
likely
consequences.
Nevertheless,
sometimes,
the
recommendation
becomes
unrealistic.
On
the
one
hand,
people
have
not
enough
time
to
consider
carefully
before
doing
something
risky.
On
the
other
hand,
careful
consideration
may
prevent
people
from
undertaking
any
risky
action.

50. Leaders
are
created
by
the
demands
that
are
placed
on
them.
Who
is
a
leader?
A
leader
is
a
person
who
is
followed
by
others
due
to
his
charisma
and
his
ability
to
lead
people
in
the
right
direction.
A
leader
must
exude
qualities
like
confidence,
integrity,
dedication,
honesty
and
competence
in
carrying
out
the
tasks
related
to
leadership.
A
leader
has
to
cater
to
the
demands
of
the
people
who
are
led
by
him.
However,
the
contention
that
the
demands
of
people
can
create
a
leader
is
not
justified
as
not
everyone
can
inculcate
the
qualities
that
are
required
of
a
leader.
His
people
can
elect
a
person
as
a
leader
but
he
will
not
be
able
to
succeed
in
becoming
an
effective
leader
unless
he
has
the
inborn
traits
of
leadership.
Hence,
it
is
true
that
leaders
cater
to
the
demands
of
the
people
who
are
led
by
them,
but
leaders
can
never
be
created
by
these
demands
alone.
A
leader's
prime
responsibility
is
to
provide
a
solution
for
the
development
of
the
people
who
follow
him.
Take
the
example
of
political
leaders.
The
general
population
elects
these
leaders.
During
the
election
process,
political
leaders
are
pitted
against
each
other
and
the
one
who
is
able
to
garner
the
highest
number
of
votes
wins
the
election.
What
do
these
leaders
have
to
do
for
winning
elections?
They
have
to
consistently
prove
to
the
populace
that
they
will
cater
to
their
demands
and
provide
them
with
facilities
that
they
are
in
need
of.
The
leader
who
is
ultimately
voted
into
power
is
expected
to
carry
out
his
promises.
A
leader
who
is
able
to
meet
the
promises
made
by
him
during
the
campaigning
process
will
probably
be
elected
into
power
for
the
second
term
as
well.
His
competence
in
carrying
out
the
promises
made
by
him
cannot
be
developed
overnight.
People
may
have
elected
a
person
and
placed
demands
on
him,
but
he
cannot
win
the
confidence
of
his
people
and
be
respected
as
a
leader
unless
he
demonstrates
leadership
qualities.
The
demands
that
are
placed
upon
a
person
are
a
big
challenge
for
him
to
become
a
leader.
In
a
business
enterprise,
a
manager
is
expected
to
lead
the
people
working
under
him
in
such
a
way
that
the
productivity
of
the
company
increases
and
the
company
reaps
high
profits.
Good
qualifications
and
experience
may
have
assisted
in
placing
the
manager
in
this
position.
However,
he
will
need
leadership
skills
in
addition
to
his
capabilities
in
order
to
meet
the
demands
placed
upon
him
if
he
has
to
succeed
as
an
effective
leader.
Inability
of
the
manager
to
handle
the
people
under
him
in
the
most
cost-effective
manner
may
lead
to
a
scenario
wherein
a
more
competent
manager
replaces
him.
Therefore,
it
is
absolutely
necessary
for
a
person
to
prove
his
competence
after
being
nominated
as
a
leader
because
merely
placing
demands
is
not
sufficient
for
creating
leaders.
One
can
look
up
history
to
find
examples
of
numerous
leaders
who
rose
to
lead
their
people
because
there
were
demands
placed
upon
them.
Mahatma
Gandhi
led
the
people
of
India
to
independence,
but
could
the
people
of
India
have
created
a
Mahatma
Gandhi
out
of
any
other
person
by
placing
demands
on
him?
It
was
the
qualities,
ideology
and
principles
of
Mahatma
Gandhi
which
were
revered
by
the
people
who
followed
him.
The
freedom
struggle
of
India
placed
crucial
demands
on
all
its
leaders,
however
only
a
few
of
them
were
actually
able
67

52. Every
individual
in
a
society
has
a
responsibility
to
obey
just
laws
and
to
disobey
and
resist
unjust
laws.
The
author
of
the
statement
has
divided
laws
into
two
broad
categories:
just
and
unjust.
This
division
is
not
correct.
Any
one
individual
cannot
decide
whether
laws
are
just
or
unjust.
It
is
subjective
to
personal
interests.
Hence,
it
is
wrong
to
say
that
one
should
obey
just
laws
and
disobey
unjust
laws.
It
is
difficult
to
identify
just
and
unjust
laws.
Many
people
have
tried
to
define
them.
For
example,
Martin
Luther
King
said
that
a
law
is
unjust
if
it
is
inflicted
on
a
minority.
While
as
per
Thoreau,
policies
of
the
State
should
never
be
put
above
the
individual's
needs.
It
is
true
that
one
is
accountable
to
obey
just
laws;
similarly,
one
has
the
moral
responsibility
to
speak
against
unjust
laws.
However,
it
would
be
an
extreme
statement
that
one
should
disobey
unjust
laws.
Anyways,
laws
are
based
on
majority
vote
and
cannot
always
suit
everyone
in
different
situations.
Unjust
laws
do
exist,
but
there
is
a
proper
way
to
reform
them.
This
issue
is
not
a
straightforward
issue.
The
fairness
of
any
law
depends
on
one's
personal
value
system.
This
is
especially
true
when
it
comes
to
personal
freedoms.
Consider,
for
example,
the
controversial
issue
of
abortion.
Individuals
with
particular
religious
beliefs
tend
to
view
laws
allowing
mothers
an
abortion
choice
as
unjust,
while
individuals
with
other
value
systems
might
view
such
laws
as
just.
Similarly,
some
people
might
find
some
laws
unjust
because
of
their
personal
interests.
For
example,
law
that
limits
the
emission
of
harmful
substances
from
the
factories
protects
people
from
the
harmful
hazards
of
these
things.
However,
a
factory
might
find
this
law
unjust,
as
he
has
to
install
expensive
filters
to
dispose
of
the
harmful
gases
and
chemicals
from
its
waste.
In
this
case,
laws
protecting
the
residents`
health
are
more
important
than
the
profit
of
the
local
factory.
Laws
are
made
to
keep
societies
in
order.
We
should
obey
the
laws
if
they
are
just,
in
order
to
ensure
the
stability
of
the
society.
However,
if
the
law
conflicts
with
people's
moral
values
or
beliefs,
people
should
take
direct
action
against
it
and
make
it
amended
through
legislature.
Every
country
has
a
certain
system
to
amend
laws.
Hence,
people
should
approach
the
proper
channel
to
reform
the
laws,
which
they
think
are
unjust.
However,
there
are
certain
events
in
history,
which
involve
civil
disobedience
against
certain
laws
that
were
not
acceptable
to
the
general
public.
For
example,
Martin
Luther
King
fought
for
American
African
rights
against
color
discrimination.
He
was
jailed
for
his
civil
disobedience
movement,
but
today
American
people
are
thankful
for
his
efforts.
Similarly,
in
India,
Mahatma
Gandhi
used
civil
disobedience
against
the
British
Empire
for
the
rights
of
Indians
and
got
successful
in
getting
freedom
for
India.
However,
these
are
the
examples
where
people
fought
for
the
nation's
interest.
69
Finally,
we
can
say
that
laws
are
to
maintain
peace
and
harmony
in
the
society.
Justice
can
be
achieved
more
effectively
by
helping
people
to
reach
a
mutual
understanding
of
justice
instead
of
revolts.
Merely
ones
subjective
viewpoint
or
personal
interests
rarely
justify
radical
actions
such
as
resistance
or
disobedience.
53. People
who
are
the
most
deeply
committed
to
an
idea
or
policy
are
also
the
most
critical
of
it.
Good
criticism
requires
thorough
and
deep
knowledge
of
the
subject.
Most
of
the
ideas
and
policies
have
a
flip
side
to
them,
which
invites
criticism
of
the
policy.
People
who
are
deeply
committed
to
a
cause
or
a
policy
are
the
ones
who
are
aware
of
this
flip
side
and
therefore
they
not
only
become
the
advocates
of
the
policy
but
also
critics
of
this
flip
side.
However,
I
also
believe
that
this
is
not
the
case
with
all
ideas
and
policies.
There
have
been
examples
where
an
idea
is
supported
fully
by
some
people
without
being
critical
of
it.
First
let
us
discuss
the
writer's
stand
that
it
is
those
committed
to
a
cause
who
is
most
critical
of
it.
As
I
have
mentioned
earlier,
genuine
criticism
is
possible
only
with
thorough
knowledge
of
the
subject.
When
a
person
is
committed
to
a
cause,
he
becomes
basic
to
its
functioning
and
policies.
This
not
only
makes
him
understand
the
cause
that
he
supports
but
also
exposes
the
disadvantages
and
harms
of
the
policy
as
well.
For
example,
a
doctor
who
administers
drugs
to
his
patients
to
save
their
lives
and
make
them
healthy
also
knows
the
ill
effects
of
their
misuse
by
a
healthy
person.
The
doctors
become
the
first
persons
to
criticize
the
use
of
certain
drugs
by
healthy
people.
Similarly,
nuclear
explosions
have
helped
countries
to
gain
power
and
technology;
however,
these
countries
have
also
showed
their
concern
towards
the
misuse
of
this
power.
These
countries
are
strong
critics
of
destructive
use
of
the
nuclear
power.
However,
I
maintain
that
every
policy
does
not
have
a
harmful
side
to
it.
For
example,
the
supports
of
humanitarian
efforts
only
devote
themselves
to
social
service
and
humanitarian
work.
They
would
not
find
anything
wrong
with
helping
the
poor
or
needy.
As
we
can
see,
Gandhi
was
a
supporter
of
nonviolence
and
Mother
Teresa
stood
for
the
cause
of
the
destitute.
They
supported
their
cause
with
their
heart
and
soul,
without
being
critical
of
it.
Even
if
there
is
a
critical
way
of
looking
at
an
idea
or
policy,
it
need
not
be
criticized
by
its
supporters.
Take
for
example
a
company
building
hotels
and
malls
in
otherwise
scenic
and
serene
surroundings.
An
engineer
who
is
involved
in
construction
of
buildings
need
not
be
critical
of
the
construction
of
these
buildings.
He
only
devotes
his
sincere
efforts
to
his
work
without
thinking
about
the
result
of
constructing
the
multistory
buildings
and
its
implications.
Another
example
of
this
is
that
of
anti-social
elements
like
terrorists
and
revolutionaries.
70
These
people
are
also
fully
committed
to
their
ideas.
Their
efforts
are
solely
derived
towards
attaining
their
goal.
This
may
involve
causing
damage
to
property,
harming
people,
or
even
taking
lives.
This
surely
brings
out
that
they
are
not
critical
of
their
activities.
It
comes
as
a
sharp
contrast
to
the
stand
taken
by
the
writer
according
to
which
people
committed
to
a
cause
are
most
critical
of
it.
In
the
end
I
would
like
to
sum
up
by
saying
that
I
agree
only
partially
with
the
writer.
Without
refuting
his
views
that
the
supporters
of
an
idea
are
the
ones
most
critical
of
it,
I
would
like
to
add
that
this
can't
be
accepted
as
a
general
truth.
While
the
writer
can
be
true
in
many
cases,
there
are
exceptions
where
those
who
are
committed
to
a
cause
only
devote
themselves
to
it
completely,
without
being
critical
of
it.
54. Some
people
believe
it
is
often
necessary,
even
desirable,
for
political
leaders
to
withhold
information
from
the
public.
Others
believe
that
the
public
has
a
right
to
be
fully
informed.
Freedom
of
information
to
the
population
is
a
right
that
is
enshrined
in
international
instruments
such
as
the
Universal
Declaration
of
Human
Rights
and
is
believed
to
be
the
cornerstone
of
every
democracy.
Freedom
of
citizens
to
seek
and
access
information
has
wide
merits
and
except
for
cases
where
withholding
information
from
the
public
is
in
the
larger
interest
of
the
nation,
any
curtailment
of
this
freedom
would
result
in
a
demagogic
state
of
affairs.
At
the
outset,
exceptions
to
this
fundamental
right
must
be
enlisted.
International
charter
of
human
rights
defines
these
unequivocally
as
instances
where
there
is
a
threat
to
national
security,
law
and
order,
rights
and
reputations
of
others
and
public
health
and
morals.
In
the
event
of
war,
classified
information,
which
would
endanger
national
security
if
access
were
available
to
egregious
elements,
must
be
curtailed
from
reaching
the
laity.
This
is
necessitated,
as
it
is
impossible
to
delineate
anti
national
elements
from
amongst
the
populace.
Secrecy
in
matters
is
also
prudent
when
unsubstantiated
information
is
likely
to
cause
panic
and
pell-mell
in
the
nation.
Barring
the
above
instances,
free
flow
of
information
is
essential
for
the
citizens
to
participate
actively
in
the
governance
of
the
society.
It
is
impossible
for
the
government
or
legislation
to
guarantee
the
security
of
each
and
every
individual
and
in
instances
of
possible
terrorist
attacks,
the
denizens
cannot
be
vigilant
unless
they
are
disclosed
information
about
possible
terror
attacks
that
the
intelligence
agencies
have
intercepted.
A
complete
disclosure
of
facts,
endangered
locations
and
modus
operand
of
the
terrorists
is
crucial
if
such
events
are
to
be
thwarted.

55. Colleges
and
universities
should
require
all
faculty
to
spend
time
working
outside
the
academic
world
in
professions
relevant
to
the
courses
they
teach.
Education
prepares
us
for
life
by
enlightening
us
with
knowledge.
Though
knowledge
is
present
all
around
us,
it
is
an
educator
who
imparts
knowledge
to
us.
Educational
institutes
serve
as
platforms
for
the
interaction
between
the
learners
and
learned
and
their
faculty
enables
one
to
independently
face
the
world.
In
other
words,
the
quality
of
education
at
university
and
college
levels
plays
a
vital
role
in
giving
economic
independence
to
an
individual.
The
faculty
of
an
educational
institute
primarily
consists
of
lecturers,
professors,
lab
attendants
and
activity
in-charges.
In
spite
of
plenty
of
books
and
internet
information
available,
an
educator
plays
a
significant
role
in
giving
instructions
such
that
a
complex
topic
is
comprehended
easily
by
his
students.
To
train
an
individual
such
that
he
does
well
in
a
chosen
profession,
it
is
not
necessary
that
the
faculties
should
practice
that
particular
profession.
The
strength
of
an
educator
lies
in
his
communication
skills
and
ability
to
transform
topics
from
complex
to
easy.
For
instance,
a
language
teacher
should
be
able
to
develop
an
understanding
of
his
subject.
He
should
be
capable
of
explaining
difficult
comprehensions
and
poems
with
ease
and
develop
the
skill
of
critical
analysis
in
the
students
along
with
a
liking
for
his
subject.
For
all
this
he
need
not
be
an
author
or
poet
himself.
Likewise,
a
mathematics
professor
need
not
be
a
mathematician
who
develops
different
techniques
to
approach
a
problem,
invents
new
formulae
and
theories,
unless
compelled
by
his
own
choice.
He
is
to
explain
different
topics
in
an
easy
way,
and
develop
problem-solving
skills
and
prepare
a
sound
base
for
the
future
mathematicians.
Even
in
science
subjects,
the
faculty
need
not
transform
into
scientists.
Good
explanation
of
scientific
terms
and
theories
along
with
the
relevant
practical
work
in
the
laboratories
would
suffice
for
the
ones
preparing
to
go
into
research
work.
In
addition
to
this,
the
trainers
and
passed
out
trainees
pursuing
the
same
profession
may
create
awkwardness,
as
working
on
the
same
platform
may
create
ego
hassles
and
diminish
the
much
deserved
respect
for
the
faculty
amidst
their
ex-students.
Further,
frequent
shifting
from
educational
institutions
to
the
outside
workplace
may
disturb
the
curriculum
and
concentration
of
the
students
as
well
as
the
teachers.
However,
there
are
a
few
areas
where
the
quality
of
education
can
improve
drastically
if
the
faculty
members
have
some
experience
of
working
in
outside
world
in
professions
relevant
to
the
courses
they
teach.
For
example,
the
research
guides
at
the
university
level
can
give
more
useful
input
to
their
students
aspiring
for
research
work
in
scientific
laboratories.
Similarly,
all
faculties
of
professional
institutions
like
business
management,
teachers
training,
training
for
doctors,
etc.
can
enhance
the
quality
of
teaching
by
supplementing
it
with
their
first
hand
experience
in
the
respective
professions.
Apart
from
theoretical
knowledge,
it
creates
awareness
about
the
actual
environment
and
challenges
to
be
faced
in
future.
73
Thus,
the
role
of
faculties
in
colleges
and
universities
is
to
prepare,
guide
and
motivate
the
students
in
recognizing
their
aptitude
so
that
they
choose
an
appropriate
profession.
Barring
few
courses,
the
faculties
can
conveniently
do
justice
to
their
teaching
without
working
outside
in
professions
related
to
their
subjects.
56. Knowing
about
the
past
cannot
help
people
to
make
important
decisions
today.
History
is
a
collection
of
past
events.
It
includes
the
trends
and
patterns
of
people
of
earlier
civilizations,
their
faith
and
achievements,
along
with
the
details
of
the
lives
of
great
men
who
created
a
niche
for
themselves
in
social,
political
or
religious
fields.
All
in
all,
history
is
the
study
that
teaches
us
not
only
about
the
past
events,
but
also
about
the
cause
and
impact
of
actions
taken
in
the
past
such
that
they
serve
as
a
source
of
guidance
for
the
present
and
the
future
as
well.
The
achievements
and
developments
of
the
past
assist
us
in
the
present.
For
instance,
the
knowledge
of
early
man
in
creation
of
weapons
and
various
equipments
has
been
the
foundation
for
the
tools
developed
today.
The
knowledge
of
making
houses,
planning
of
towns,
architectural
skills,
helps
in
further
enhancing
these
traits
without
wasting
much
time
and
in
developing
a
completely
new
idea.
History
reveals
about
the
achievements
in
the
areas
of
science,
medicine,
literature,
mathematics,
etc.
To
quote
an
example,
implementations
of
Ayurveda,
homeopathy
and
yoga
in
today's
life
are
inspired
by
the
developments
and
successes
in
the
past.
Similarly,
the
knowledge
of
mathematical
calculations,
astronomy,
astrology,
literature
and
famous
legends
are
meaningfully
extracted
today
because
of
the
mediating
role
played
by
history.
Further,
the
leaders
and
other
eminent
personalities
of
the
past
act
as
a
source
of
inspiration
to
the
present
generation.
The
biographies
of
Nehru,
Ghandhi,
Lincon,
Napolean
and
Hitler
are
not
merely
amusements
today
but
they
definitely
make
one
aware
of
certain
actions
and
their
consequences,
which
are
relevant
even
today.
To
cite
an
example,
the
use
of
atom
bombs
in
Japan
and
its
aftermaths
curtailed
different
countries
from
using
the
nuclear
weapons
till
date.
The
horrors
of
the
world
wars
reflected
in
history
warn
nations
against
another
such
grave
mistake.
It
is
history
that
teaches
leaders
to
restrain
from
dictatorship
and
empowers
common
men
to
retaliate
it.
The
revolts
and
revolutions
held
in
the
past
have
set
examples
for
the
future.
The
study
of
ancient
civilizations
and
their
origin,
their
belief,
their
actions
and
culture
gives
a
deeper
understanding
of
different
religions
and
social
norms.
This
in
turn
enables
us
to
accept
people
of
different
backgrounds
by
inculcating
74
religious
tolerance,
which
is
the
need
of
the
hour
in
most
parts
of
the
world
today.
In
addition
to
this,
there
have
been
many
gradual
climatic
changes
since
time
immemorial.
Historical
records
of
such
changing
weather
patterns
make
us
more
aware
and
well
equipped
in
dealing
with
the
climatic
and
ecological
changes.
For
instance,
the
recent
floods
in
Bihar
(India)
caused
due
to
the
Kosi
river
could
have
been
better
dealt
with
(if
not
averted),
if
the
historical
records
of
this
notorious
river
and
its
highly
unpredictable
behavior
of
changing
routes
was
given
sufficient
thought
to.
Conclusively,
history
is
not
merely
a
study
of
past
for
information
sake,
but
it
gives
us
a
foundation
to
progress
in
the
fields
of
science,
literature,
law
and
order,
politics
and
social
customs.
It
empowers
us
with
the
understanding
of
various
happenings,
patterns
and
likely
consequences
of
different
actions
in
the
present
and
in
the
future
as
well.
57. We
can
usually
learn
much
more
from
people
whose
views
we
share
than
from
people
whose
views
contradict
our
own.
Any
kind
of
learning
needs
a
favorable
environment.
Where
there
is
conflict
amongst
people
it
only
results
in
commotion.
I
believe
that
although
there
is
a
lot
that
we
can
learn
from
every
situation
and
people
around
us,
it
is
a
general
attitude
of
people
to
dismiss
the
ideas
of
someone
who
has
a
contrary
view.
According
to
the
given
statement,
we
can
learn
a
lot
more
from
people
with
whom
we
share
our
views
rather
than
from
those
who
hold
contradicting
views.
I,
however,
feel
that
there
is
a
great
scope
of
learning
from
people
who
hold
different
views
as
well.
Nonetheless,
we
are
not
ready
for
this
type
of
learning
because
our
ego
comes
in
the
way.
Disagreement
causes
stress,
tension
and
commotion,
but
we
should
try
to
rise
above
this
and
benefit
from
the
experiences
of
others
who
we
disagree
with.
Birds
of
a
feather
flock
together.
We
join
the
company
of
people
who
share
the
same
views
as
ours.
Thus,
there
are
increased
chances
that
we
listen
to
what
others
have
to
say
instead
of
getting
involved
in
an
argument.
This
makes
a
perfect
environment
for
positive
learning
and
the
ideas
of
others
influence
us.
There
is
no
inhibition
among
such
people
and
a
mutual
rapport
is
established.
However,
the
scope
of
this
type
of
learning
is
limited.
It
ends
where
the
views
are
exchanged.
When
one
person
is
at
the
receiving
end
and
agrees
to
all
the
views
of
the
learned
person,
he
does
not
question
his
knowledge.
On
the
other
hand,
there
is
a
greater
scope
of
learning
from
someone
who
has
different
ideas
than
you.
75
When
people
holding
different
views
come
together,
they
argue
over
a
certain
issue.
We
cannot
take
it
for
granted
that
we
are
always
right.
What
seems
to
be
correct
to
us
may
be
wrong
for
someone
else.
Therefore,
in
an
argument
we
come
across
different
views
and
interpretations
of
the
same
issue.
There
could
be
sides
of
looking
at
the
issue,
which
do
not
strike
to
one
person,
but
these
can
come
out
only
in
an
argument
where
people
present
views
that
are
different
from
those
of
yours.
Another
example
of
a
great
social
worker
is
that
of
Mother
Teresa.
She
is
known
for
her
concern
towards
the
poor,
sick
and
underprivileged.
She
has
given
a
definition
to
humanity,
charity
and
compassion.
Even
though
there
are
millions
who
claim
to
appreciate
her,
there
aren't
many
Mother
Teresas
around.
So
much
so
that
we
even
ignore
our
basic
social
responsibility
of
charity.
'Charity
begins
at
home,'
is
a
dictum
for
everyone
but
ourselves;
we
do
not
even
bother
about
the
financial
well
being
of
our
domestic
helps.
We
are
so
self-centered
and
engrossed
in
our
own
lives
that
we
seldom
practice
what
we
know
should
be
correct.
We
celebrate
the
birth
and
death
anniversaries
of
great
men,
celebrate
the
official
holidays
on
such
significant
days,
attend
chat
shows,
hold
discussions...we
do
it
all
but
only
for
the
moment.
This
shows
that
the
influence
of
great
men
on
our
minds
and
actions
is
merely
superficial.
We
'claim'
to
admire
them
but
do
not
prove
the
same
in
our
actions.
Let
us
take
an
example
of
a
simple
classroom.
If
the
students
learn
everything
that
the
teacher
teaches
them
without
asking
their
doubts
or
questions,
they
become
passive
learners.
On
the
other
hand,
if
the
students
try
to
figure
out
the
problem
on
their
own,
they
will
come
up
with
doubts
and
questions.
They
might
not
agree
with
their
teacher
on
a
certain
topic
for
which
they
can
initiate
a
discussion.
It
is
only
in
such
a
discussion
that
a
real
clarification
of
the
topic
comes
out.
This
type
of
learning
is
detailed,
effective
and
lasting.
A
new
discovery
or
invention
comes
to
light
only
when
someone
disagrees
with
the
norms
and
tries
to
prove
his
point.
It
is
only
when
someone
refused
to
believe
that
earth
is
stationary
and
that
Sun
revolves
around
the
earth
that
efforts
were
made
to
discover
the
truth.
Disagreement
surely
causes
stress
if
the
criticism
is
taken
in
a
negative
way.
Instead
we
should
welcome
criticism
positively
and
try
to
learn
from
the
ideas
of
others.
It
is
a
matter
of
attitude
that
can
change
the
way
people
think.
If
you
are
ready
to
welcome
contradicting
views
and
accept
different
ideas,
it
will
increase
your
knowledge
manifold.
76
77
78
79
reasoning
are
of
great
scientific
importance,
the
truly
great
and
game
changing
innovations,
such
as
the
principle
of
relativity
created
by
Albert
Einstein,
are
indeed
some
elegant
combinations
of
the
knowledge
acquired
by
predecessors
and
the
newer
perspectives
of
more
recent
ways
of
thinking.
In
the
process
of
creating
this
theory,
Einstein
himself
was
engaged
in
years
of
discussion
through
many
exchanges
of
letters
and
ideas
with
others
who
held
different
or
even
totally
opposing
points
of
view.
It
was
his
belief
that
a
better,
more
unified
theory,
which
can
reconcile
all
the
existing
theories
of
physics,
helped
him
in
this
epic
discovery.
Preclusion
of
one
view
over
another
would
not
have
created
a
synergy
with
the
total
exceeding
the
sum
of
its
parts.
Any
single
view
is
also
likely
to
reflect
the
sentiments
only
of
the
puissant
and
tends
to
be
limited
and
even
distorted.
If
socialists
and
leftists
do
not
question
the
government;
vested
interests
of
the
capitalists
and
the
mercenary
gain
the
government
can
derive
from
them
would
become
the
sole
considerations
for
promulgating
policies,
which
would
be
detrimental
to
the
interest
of
the
proletariat.
Examples
of
such
scenarios
abound
in
real
life
and
a
latest
incident
in
India
where
a
raging
media
debate
between
the
government,
industrialists
and
the
laity
concluded
in
the
industrial
house
relocating
to
another
location
in
order
to
safeguard
the
interests
of
the
farmers,
is
testimony
to
the
fact
that
the
ability
of
an
argument
to
reconcile
dissenting
ideas
better
serves
the
majority.
In
situations
like
these,
trying
to
convince
all
stakeholders
towards
a
common
viewpoint
could
result
in
an
impasse
which
can
be
avoided
through
a
discussion
where
each
party
tries
to
see
the
perspective
of
the
other
and
willingly
arrive
at
a
common
decision.
A
rich
and
lively
debate
amongst
people
of
dissenting
opinions
also
stimulates
the
progress
of
all
concerned
stakeholders.
Through
complete
discussion,
the
participants
develop
critical
thinking
skills
and
empathy
that
enables
them
to
view
the
situation
from
different
points
of
view
of
the
others.
By
seeking
to
transcend
differences,
they
can
develop
their
own
beliefs
more
thoroughly
and
by
critically
evaluating
various
views
of
others
they
can
nurture
the
cognitive
skills
to
identify
fallacies
and
weaknesses
in
the
ideas
of
both
theirs
and
their
opponents.
Additionally,
listening
to
counter
arguments
is
the
fastest
way
to
promote
learning
and
indeed
many
educational
institutions
worldwide
use
debates
as
means
to
pique
the
interests
of
students
to
explore,
research
and
get
into
the
depth
of
the
topic.
All
these
skills
are
of
life
importance
and
enable
debate
participants
to
make
huge
contribution
in
great
width
and
depth.
In
conclusion,
it
has
been
highlighted
that
the
merits
and
values
of
an
argument
lie
not
only
in
its
ability
to
convince
others
with
solid
evidence
and
logical
reasoning,
but
also
in
whether
it
harbor
enough
room
for
reconciliation
of
dissenting
and
opposing
perspectives,
and
thorough
discussion
with
depth
and
width
is
the
most
effective
way
to
ameliorate
and
improve
an
argument.

61. All
parents
should
be
required
to
volunteer
time
to
their
children's
schools.
Learning
begins
at
home.
From
the
time
a
child
is
born,
he
learns
from
his
environment
including
his
parents
and
the
community
he
lives
in.
There
is
no
denying
the
fact
that
a
child's
behavior
and
knowledge
are
largely
dependent
on
how
his
parents
groom
him
at
home.
A
child
picks
up
the
language
that
is
spoken
by
his
parents
and
learns
various
other
facts
of
life
as
he
constantly
questions
the
people
around
him
with
whatever
doubts
he
may
have.
How
can
then
one
assume
that
the
moment
a
child
is
sent
to
school,
parents
and
communities
should
detach
themselves
from
his
process
of
learning?
It
is
essential
that
parents,
communities
and
teachers
make
a
combined
effort
to
impart
maximum
possible
knowledge
to
schoolchildren.
Education
systems
around
the
world
may
or
may
not
emphasize
on
assignments
to
be
carried
out
at
home
depending
on
the
education
system
being
followed
in
the
countries.
If
a
school
child
gets
assignments
to
be
done
at
home,
the
parents
might
help
him
in
completing
the
work.
However,
if
the
education
system
that
is
being
followed
does
not
emphasize
on
home
assignments,
should
the
parents
not
be
bothered
about
what
the
child
has
done
in
school?
Can
the
responsibility
of
imparting
education
be
left
to
the
teachers
alone?
It
is
not
necessary
that
the
child
spend
his
entire
day
in
school
reading
and
writing.
He
may
be
spending
a
lot
of
time
in
other
co-curricular
activities
like
sports
and
music.
When
is
he
supposed
to
review
whatever
has
been
done
in
the
class?
Involvement
of
parents
in
the
activities
being
carried
out
in
the
school
will
benefit
both
the
parents
as
well
as
the
teachers
in
imparting
high
standards
of
education.
There
may
be
instances
when
a
child
is
an
introvert
and
he
does
not
raise
questions
or
doubts
in
the
class.
His
questions
will
always
remain
unanswered
if
his
parents
do
not
take
the
initiative
of
spending
time
with
their
child
to
clarify
his
queries.
On
the
other
hand,
there
may
be
a
case
wherein
the
child
is
inattentive
in
class
and
is
easily
distracted
by
the
happenings
around
him.
It
is
not
necessary
that
a
teacher
will
always
be
able
to
give
undivided
attention
to
such
a
child.
One
cannot
ignore
the
fact
that
in
a
classroom,
a
teacher
has
to
give
equal
importance
to
all
the
students
in
the
class.
The
traits
of
a
child
are
best
known
to
his
parents
and
the
people
who
live
with
him.
Can
the
child's
family
choose
to
ignore
his
performance
in
school
and
blame
the
teachers
for
failing
to
teach
him
properly?
The
parents
will
have
to
take
extra
pains
to
ensure
that
their
child
is
groomed
and
taught
to
be
attentive
in
class.
For
this
they
may
have
to
interact
with
the
teachers
and
choose
the
most
appropriate
method
for
educating
the
child.
At
the
same
time,
it
is
not
necessary
that
all
schools
provide
the
best
mode
of
instructions
and
good
quality
teaching
standards.
The
inputs
from
the
parents
of
the
school
children
will
help
the
schools
in
modifying
their
teaching
methods
to
suit
the
children
studying
at
their
schools.
Education
is
too
important
an
aspect
of
life
to
be
handled
carelessly.
It
will
not
be
possible
to
reverse
time
and
go
in
the
past
to
undo
the
errors
made
by
neglecting
the
education
of
a
child
when
he
was
in
school.
We
all
have
heard
of
the
saying,
'A
stitch
in
time
saves
nine.'
Leaving
the
education
of
a
school
going
child
at
the
discretion
of
his
teachers
may
have
serious
repercussions
in
the
future.
If
the
81
parents
of
the
child
and
the
people
around
him
have
not
been
showing
an
interest
in
what
he
does
at
school,
the
child
might
be
led
astray
and
it
might
have
an
adverse
effect
on
his
future
career
prospects.
Therefore,
it
is
necessary
that
all
local
schools
involve
the
opinions
and
contributions
of
parents
in
the
process
of
imparting
high
quality
education,
as
the
teachers
alone
cannot
provide
it.
62. Colleges
and
universities
should
require
their
students
to
spend
at
least
one
semester
studying
in
a
foreign
country.
The
author
is
of
the
view
that
all
college
and
university
students
would
benefit
from
spending
at
least
one
semester
studying
in
a
foreign
country.
While
many
of
us
may
agree
with
this
view,
there
are
various
aspects
that
need
to
analyze
thoroughly
before
coming
to
a
solid
conclusion.
Admittedly,
spending
a
few
months
in
a
foreign
university
would
provide
students
an
opportunity
to
work
in
a
culturally
and
intellectually
different
setting
from
the
one
in
their
home
country.
Staying
away
from
home
would
prepare
students
to
survive
independently
and
also
learn
to
adjust
in
this
rapidly
shifting
world.
For
example,
students
would
require
to
take
crucial
decisions
as
well
as
do
your
personal
work
yourself,
which
is
otherwise
neglected
and
left
on
to
the
parents
when
one
stays
at
home.
Furthermore,
in
a
foreign
university
students
could
avail
better
research
facilities
and
opportunities
that
would
not
have
been
possible
in
their
home
institution.
For
example,
in
Germany,
a
student
could
be
provided
with
world-class
infrastructure
and
work
with
the
best
researchers
in
automobile
industry,
which
is
not
possible
in
India.
One
must
admit
as
well
that
witnessing
the
rich
culture,
diversity
and
exchanging
ideas
from
people
with
different
civilizations
and
backgrounds
imbues
a
broad
outlook
and
tolerance.
Appreciation
of
foreign
language
and
life-style
would
be
pivotal
in
understanding
that
there
is
a
common
thread
that
binds
all
mankind.
One
the
other
hand,
it
is
also
true
that
making
it
necessary
for
students
to
study
in
a
foreign
country
could
have
its
own
negative
effects.
Experience
would
tell
us
that
all
students
do
not
find
it
suitable
to
settle
down
in
a
foreign
country
initially,
especially
the
ones
coming
from
a
comparably
conservative
background.
The
different
food,
language,
culture
and
an
all
together
different
environment
could
make
it
difficult
for
a
student
to
focus
on
his
studies
and
research.
It
could
preclude
the
primary
objective
of
introducing
this
program
and
instead,
inhibit
interaction
and
thus
learning.
The
local
problems
of
the
foreign
country
and
working
environment
could
also
deter
students
and
have
a
negative
effect
on
their
morale.
Although
I
believe
that
university
students
would
benefit
from
spending
some
time
studying
in
a
foreign
country,
the
policy
should
be
implemented
effectively
and
the
students
should
be
given
a
choice
whether
they
wish
to
avail
this
82
83
wrong
results
are
minimized.
Although
we
are
sufferers
of
such
failed
studies
but
at
the
same
time
it
can
not
be
forgotten
that
these
scientists
are
humans
after
all
and
they
are
only
doing
their
work.
New
and
better
technology
aids
their
studies
and
thus
they
come
with
new
and
better
results.
It
is
not
necessary
that
facts
are
always
inaccurate
but
their
viability
can
certainly
be
questioned.
64. Claim:
Many
problems
of
modern
society
cannot
be
solved
by
laws
and
the
legal
system.
Reason:
Laws
cannot
change
what
is
in
people's
hearts
or
minds
The
author
claims
that
legislation
cannot
affect
a
change
in
the
opinions
and
attitude
of
people
and
laws
are
not
the
panacea
to
all
ills
that
plague
our
society
today.
While
I
concur
with
the
author
when
he
opines
that
laws
cannot
be
the
solution
for
all
problems,
I
disagree
with
the
statement
that
laws
cannot
effect
a
change
in
peoples
attitudes
and
beliefs
and
propose
that
given
sufficient
time
laws
have
the
ability
to
change
the
ethos
of
a
society.
Laws
are
only
structural
guidelines
that
delineate
behavior
and
guarantee
people
their
freedom
while
ensuring
that
the
rights
and
freedoms
of
others
are
not
encroached
upon.
In
absence
of
legislation,
we
would
be
ruled
by
a
state
of
anarchy
and
chaos
with
each
individual
plundering
and
pulverizing
at
will
and
the
law
of
the
jungle
where
the
mighty
thrive
and
the
weaker
perish,
would
be
true
for
the
human
race
as
well.
However
while
laws
provide
a
framework
within
which
to
operate,
by
themselves
they
do
not
guarantee
an
equitable
and
just
society.
Laws
need
to
be
supported
by
a
substantial
deterrence
for
people
to
take
them
seriously.
They
also
require
ardent
supporters
who
would
act
like
harbingers
of
change
and
propel
others
to
adopt
them
as
well.
However
all
these
still
believe
that
human
behavior
can
be
predicted
and
thus
controlled.
In
truth,
human
behavior
is
as
much
rational
as
irrational,
as
thought-out
as
impulsive
and
as
cognitive
as
emotional.
The
fact,
that
human
behavior
cannot
be
restricted
is
evidenced
from
Middle
Eastern
countries
where
severe
laws
and
corporeal
punishments
are
also
incapable
of
casting
human
behavior
into
a
mold.
Laws,
over
a
sufficient
period
of
time
can
however
engineer
a
social
change.
The
initial
indifference
metamorphoses
over
a
length
of
time
into
acceptable
behavior
and
deviations
are
viewed
as
social
stigmas
which
replace
enforcement
as
the
deterrence
to
aberrant
behavior.
From
abolition
of
slavery
in
the
US,
to
stigmatization
of
the
sati
practice
in
India,
laws
have
seeped
into
the
social
conscience
of
nations
with
a
majority
of
denizens
accepting
them
as
part
of
their
moral
conduct.
84
Laws
have
managed
to
reform
not
only
how
people
behave
but
also
how
they
think.
Laws
governing
science
have
transformed
how
people
view
their
world
an
from
an
almost
exclusively
religious
outlook
of
the
functions
of
nature,
an
objective
and
scientific
rationale
of
phenomena
is
considered.
The
universal
law
of
gravitation
for
instance
has
given
an
objective
grounding
and
changed
the
way
we
cogitate.
In
summary,
laws
have
both
the
power
to
transform
behavior
and
thinking.
Laws,
though,
do
not
work
in
silos
and
strong
mechanisms.
Both
promoting
desired
behavior
and
curtailing
undesired
behavior
need
to
be
implemented.
However
a
complete
transformation
of
human
behavior
is
not
possible
even
under
the
best
of
legislation
and
enforcement
as
the
vagaries
of
human
mind
cannot
be
ascertained
completely.
65. The
primary
goal
of
technological
advancement
should
be
to
increase
people's
efficiency
so
that
they
have
more
leisure
time.
Starting
from
the
Stone
Age,
man
has
been
exploring
different
ways
and
means
to
make
his
life
comfortable.
There
have
been
numerous
technological
discoveries
and
developments,
which
have
aided
in
making
the
world
what
it
is
today.
The
modern
man
has
access
to
various
technological
gadgets
which
have
made
his
life
much
more
comfortable
as
compared
to
the
life
led
by
his
forefathers.
Moreover,
man
has
become
more
efficient
as
he
now
has
the
assistance
of
technology
to
carry
out
his
routine
work.
There
is
no
doubt
that
the
primary
goal
of
technological
advancement
should
be
to
increase
people's
efficiency,
but
creating
more
leisure
time
cannot
be
related
to
either
the
technological
developments
or
the
increased
efficiency
of
man.
The
advent
of
technology
has
definitely
made
life
better
by
improving
various
aspects
like
communicating
and
traveling
across
the
globe.
People
can
now
access
information
on
any
subject
from
the
Internet
at
the
click
of
a
button
rather
than
having
to
search
through
books
and
libraries.
Has
the
time
that
has
been
saved,
utilized
by
the
Internet
surfer
for
leisure?
On
the
contrary,
he
would
be
busy
searching
for
other
information
on
the
Internet
which
perhaps
is
not
all
that
important
for
him.
Moreover,
he
may
start
looking
for
some
opportunity
on
the
net
to
work
part-time
and
earn
some
money
in
the
additional
time
that
he
now
has.
This
indicates
that
the
technological
development
in
the
form
of
internet
services
has
made
people
more
efficient,
but
this
increased
efficiency
of
people
has
not
led
to
the
creation
of
leisure
time
for
them.
People
can
fly
to
any
part
of
the
modern
world
in
a
matter
of
hours.
Compare
this
with
the
people
in
the
past
who
took
several
weeks
or
months
to
sail
from
one
country
to
the
other.
Have
these
technological
advancements
created
more
leisure
time
for
people
in
the
present
world?
On
the
contrary,
people
are
much
85
busier
than
their
ancestors
were
in
the
past.
People
can
fly
to
their
destinations
easily
and
this
has
led
to
an
increase
in
the
number
of
conferences
and
corporate
meetings
that
are
held
in
some
other
part
of
the
country
and
employees
are
expected
to
do
extensive
traveling
to
meet
the
company's
requirements.
People
spend
hours
traveling
to
their
offices
due
to
the
traffic
congestion
on
roads
because
of
the
numerous
vehicles,
which
are
a
result
of
technological
advancements.
Therefore,
it
can
be
seen
that
technological
development
has
made
man
efficient,
but
its
goal
could
never
be
to
provide
leisure
time
as
that
would
lead
to
the
dilution
of
the
standards
of
the
technology
being
developed.
If
technology
had
been
developed
with
the
aim
of
giving
leisure
time
to
people,
then
we
could
not
have
reached
where
we
are
today.
People
would
have
leisure
time
if
they
could
not
travel
to
distant
places
easily
and
so
the
companies
would
be
restricted
to
carrying
out
their
conferences
locally,
thus
giving
their
employees
leisure
time
which
they
would
have
otherwise
spent
in
traveling.
If
there
were
no
Internet,
people
would
not
have
been
hooked
on
to
the
internet
till
late
in
the
night.
They
would
have
utilized
the
time
thus
spent
for
relaxing
or
going
out
with
their
family.
In
other
words,
people
would
have
got
leisure
time
only
if
these
technological
advancements
were
either
non-existent
or
they
were
of
a
lesser
magnitude.
If
we
wish
to
see
man
more
efficient
in
the
future
as
compared
to
what
he
is
today,
then
the
technological
developments
will
have
to
be
planned
keeping
in
mind
the
efficiency
of
man
with
total
disregard
to
his
leisure
time.
66. Educators
should
base
their
assessment
of
students'
learning
not
on
students'
grasp
of
facts
but
on
the
ability
to
explain
the
ideas,
trends,
and
concepts
that
those
facts
illustrate.
The
proposal
of
the
author
that
learning
or
knowledge
of
concepts
should
form
the
basis
of
assessment
instead
of
the
ability
to
memorize
and
reproduce
facts
is
one
that
I
am
in
complete
accord
with.
In
the
subsequent
paragraphs
I
would
try
to
bolster
this
conclusion
by
providing
supporting
arguments
with
an
objective
of
unequivocally
proving
the
merit
of
the
position.
It
would
be
useful
to
assess
the
argument
by
evaluating
why
an
unjustifiably
high
dependence
on
rote
learning
has
come
to
be.
The
reasons
can
be
traced
back
to
the
facts
that:
such
competencies
are
the
easiest
to
measure
and
grade,
teachers
are
not
competent
or
have
little
or
no
incentive
to
promote
understanding
of
a
particular
topic
and
lastly,
there
is
a
demand
for
such
abilities
by
higher
schools
of
learning
and
employers.
The
foremost
reason
why
factual
knowledge
and
by
extension
grades,
have
come
to
occupy
a
high
pedestal
in
pedantic
instruction
is
because
these
are
easy
to
evaluate.
Knowledge
of
a
fact
can
be
either
black
or
white,
there
is
no
grey
area
86

68. Although
innovations
such
as
video,
computers,
and
the
Internet
seem
to
offer
schools
improved
methods
for
instructing
students,
these
technologies
all
too
often
distract
from
real
learning.
Innovations
are
the
greatest
strength
of
mankind
as
they
make
us
think
more
and
thus
create.
Innovations
of
any
kind
have
always
been
helpful
to
mankind.
The
huge
amount
of
credit
for
our
development
goes
to
innovations
that
the
humans
have
made
in
all
stages.
Innovations
of
all
kinds
are
proofs
that
humans
have
been
progressing.
The
metamorphosis
of
a
human
from
a
prehistoric
cave
man
to
today's
modern
man
is
all
because
of
innovations.
Innovations
in
all
fields
are
helpful
and
useful
for
us
and
education
is
one
such
field
where
innovations
like
video,
computers
and
the
Internet
have
proved
to
be
of
remarkable
importance.
I
believe
that
these
all
means
of
education
in
schools
have
revolutionized
the
whole
education
system.
I
also
recommend
that
all
the
schools,
which
are
not
able
to
make
use
of
these
innovations
in
their
education
techniques,
must
use
them
for
their
numerous
benefits.
Children
are
the
future
of
any
country
and
education
plays
an
indispensable
role
in
making
them
responsible
citizens
of
a
country.
The
teachers
in
all
education
institutes
try
their
level
best
to
educate
children.
The
students
in
school
can
be
taught
a
great
deal
with
the
use
of
videos.
If
the
service
of
an
experienced
teacher
is
unavailable
in
a
school
then
recorded
lectures
can
be
helpful
to
the
students.
In
the
same
way
with
the
use
of
this
innovation
children
can
be
shown
the
facts,
which
were
earlier,
told
to
them
verbally.
This
way
the
students
will
retain
more
knowledge.
Similarly
with
the
use
of
slide
shows
through
computers
the
students
can
be
told
numerous
facts
in
a
lecture
which
otherwise
would
require
a
couple
of
lectures
of
the
teachers.
This
way
the
teacher
would
be
able
to
impart
more
knowledge
to
the
students.
Computers
are
also
helpful
to
students
as
they
can
learn
and
write
more
promptly
and
accurately
in
lesser
time.
The
use
of
Internet
has
large
benefits
for
the
education
system.
The
large
number
of
schools
across
the
world
can
share
their
education
through
the
use
of
Internet.
Vast
knowledge
on
all
the
subjects
is
available
on
the
net,
which
can
be
beneficial
for
the
students.
Distant
education
has
become
accessible
through
Internet.
Learning
to
use
Internet
helps
a
student
in
long
run
when
the
student
goes
to
a
workplace.
There
are
numerous
benefits
which
innovations
provide
us
with.
The
help
in
school
education
is
one
of
the
benefits
derived
from
it.
I
believe
that
an
innovation
empowers
people
to
do
what
they
desire
to
do.
It
helps
people
in
becoming
more
efficient,
creative
and
productive.
It
also
helps
students
to
learn
things,
which
they
could
not
learn
before.
Although
these
innovations
have
been
very
beneficial
for
our
education
system
but
the
medium
of
video,
computer
and
Internet
lack
the
personal
touch,
which
only
a
teacher
can
personally
give
to
a
student.
The
relation
of
a
teacher
and
student
is
divine
which
is
lost
in
innovative
methods
of
learning.
89
Thus
innovation
in
the
field
of
education
should
be
used
to
help
the
teachers
in
giving
education
to
the
students
but
it
can
certainly
not
take
the
place
of
a
teacher.
69. The
best
ideas
arise
from
a
passionate
interest
in
commonplace
things.
At
the
first
glance,
the
world
consists
of
simple
things.
But
all
you
need
is
just
to
magnify
them
or
to
look
at
them
from
a
different
angle
to
see
how
complicated
they
actually
are.
I
truly
believe
that
careful
and
persistent
investigation
of
even
most
commonplace
objects
has
allowed
mankind
to
create
its
most
significant
ideas.
People
are
always
looking
around
them.
It
is
a
kind
of
a
natural
instinct
-
to
look
around
and
to
notice
new
details
in
old
things.
A
lot
of
technological
innovations
are
derived
from
the
prototypes
created
by
nature.
Throughout
the
time
the
flight
of
birds
has
inspired
humans
to
make
a
flying
machine,
which
is
heavier
than
air.
A
lot
of
prominent
thinkers
have
tried
to
solve
this
problem
until
the
law
of
uplifting
force
was
discovered.
This
is
an
excellent
example
of
how
the
pure
inspiration
by
such
common
live
creatures
as
birds
has
allowed
humans
to
overcome
the
earth's
grasp.
Modern
insect-like
robots,
used
for
exploration
of
space,
may
serve
as
another
instance
of
usage
of
usual,
but
elaborated
natural
forms
for
the
benefit
of
technology.
However,
engineering
is
not
the
only
sphere
of
human
knowledge
where
the
use
of
common
objects
allow
to
make
a
significant
breakthrough.
Contemporary
Biology
is
another
perfect
example.
While
being
nearly
purely
descriptive
science
in
the
XIX
and
early
XX
century,
nowadays
the
life
science
is
mostly
experimental.
Now,
it
becomes
clear
that
the
most
significant
accomplishments
of
molecular
biology
were
reached
through
systematical
and
careful
examination
of
the
most
common
life
creatures,
the
so-called
model
objects.
The
persistent
investigation
of
a
single
celled
bacteria
Escherichia
coli
allow
mankind
to
create
artificial
insulin,
to
solve
the
question
of
a
genetic
code,
to
learn
how
the
species
evolve
etc.
One
famous
biological
proverb
states:
"Everything
that
is
true
for
E.
coli
will
be
true
for
elephant
as
well".
And
that
is
generally
true.
The
art
has
also
become
somehow
dependent
from
the
common
things.
The
forms
of
nature
always
inspired
the
painters.
Even
one
single
landscape
may
allow
several
artists
to
see
the
new
facets
of
a
common
picture.
Some
divisions
of
the
modern
art
even
use
common
objects
in
their
unchanged
form.
The
simple
commonplace
objects
become
masterpieces
if
we
learn
how
to
look
at
it
from
a
different
angle.
"Even
a
simple
bathtub
can
be
beautiful"
-
think
some
artists.
In
conclusion,
it
becomes
evident
that
the
mankind
throughout
it's
history
have
used
the
commonplace
things
as
a
source
of
inspiration
and
new
ideas.
The
ideas
borrowed
from
nature
find
it's
application
in
all
spheres
of
technology.
Use
of
90
common
life
organisms
as
model
objects
have
serves
as
a
basis
of
the
rise
of
biological
science.
Art
has
also
found
it's
inspiration
in
common
forms.
70. Claim:
Imagination
is
a
more
valuable
asset
than
experience.
Reason:
People
who
lack
experience
are
free
to
imagine
what
is
possible
without
the
constraints
of
established
habits
and
attitudes.
91
imprisoned
in
well
known
and
set
patterns,
are
the
ones
who
have
the
aptitude
to
invent
something
new
and
implement
novel
ideas.
There
is
no
doubt
in
the
truth
that
experience
is
counted
upon
in
every
aspect
of
life,
but
at
times
it
leads
to
inhibition
in
trying
something
risky.
Though,
experience
can
help
in
playing
safe,
it
is
risk
that
must
be
taken
to
endeavor
into
a
new
venture.
The
ones
who
are
not
set
back
by
failures
and
preconceived
notions
are
the
ones
who
trail
new
paths
for
others
to
follow.
Hence,
experience
and
imagination,
both
hold
their
respective
significance
in
achieving
success
in
different
aspects
of
life.
Experience
of
past
can
be
instrumental
in
strengthening
the
positives,
if
it
does
not
hold
one
back
from
trying
out
new
ideas
based
on
imagination.
In
other
words,
though
a
rare
combination,
experience
and
imagination
together
would
be
an
ideal
pair
to
achieve
success.
71. To
be
an
effective
leader,
a
public
official
must
maintain
the
highest
ethical
and
moral
standards.
It
is
not
by
mere
appointment
that
a
person
becomes
a
leader
but
by
the
virtue
of
his
deeds
that
he
casts
an
influence
over
people.
Besides
fulfilling
his
duties
towards
people,
a
leader
should
be
able
to
inspire
them
and
set
the
utmost
standards
of
dedication,
sincerity,
honesty,
ethics
and
morals.
I
agree
with
the
statement
of
the
author.
A
public
official
must
maintain
the
highest
possible
ethical
and
moral
standards.
The
role
of
a
public
official
is
to
serve
the
people
who
have
given
him
the
right
to
make
decisions
on
their
behalf.
He
is
a
representative
of
a
large
number
of
people
belonging
to
different
sections
of
the
society.
They
come
from
varying
socio-economic
categories
and
unanimously
decide
who
is
to
lead
them.
A
public
official
is
thus
responsible
for
safeguarding
the
interests
of
all
people
alike.
Moreover,
he
is
under
public
scrutiny
at
every
moment.
Since
people
choose
him
as
their
representative,
he
is
expected
to
behave
in
accordance
with
their
intensions.
He
cannot
easily
get
away
with
wrong
decisions
or
unacceptable
behavior.
There
are
bound
to
be
discussions
and
allegations
if
a
public
official
behaves
in
an
unacceptable
manner.
An
unscrupulous
public
official
might
manage
to
retain
his
position
but
he
shall
lose
the
respect
people
have
for
him.
He
will
be
overthrown
once
people
awaken
to
his
misconduct.
Once
the
image
of
a
leader
is
tarnished,
not
only
is
it
difficult
for
him
to
come
out
clean
the
next
time
around,
it
is
nearly
impossible
for
him
to
get
rid
of
the
stigma.
People
might
never
forgive
him.
Take
for
instance
Bill
Clinton;
one
immoral
act
of
his
is
not
likely
to
be
forgiven
for
long.
92
Moral
and
ethical
conduct
of
a
public
official
is
given
utmost
value
when
people
judge
him.
In
today's
world,
where
corruption
is
rampant,
people
look
for
a
true
leader
who
is
sincere
towards
their
interests.
If
a
person
is
known
to
be
dishonest,
people
shall
never
trust
him
with
decisions
about
their
welfare.
They
would
rather
choose
a
person
with
lesser
experience
and
exposure.
It
has
been
seen
that
people
forgive
great
leaders
their
errors
of
decision
but
there
is
no
respite
for
those
who
err
morally.
When
a
leader
misbehaves
morally,
it
destroys
the
trust
people
have
in
him.
Such
damage
to
a
person's
demeanor
is
irreparable.
Even
if
he
is
forgiven,
there
shall
continue
to
be
doubts
in
people's
minds
about
the
sincerity
of
such
a
person.
Where
a
public
official
has
to
mind
his
conduct,
it
is
equally
vital
for
the
public
to
understand
him.
The
moral
standards
of
each
person
are
different.
Where
telling
a
lie
for
the
betterment
of
another
is
forgivable
for
some,
it
could
classify
as
a
scandalous
act
for
another
person.
There
are
many
things
that
leaders
have
to
balance.
Thus,
there
could
be
measures
that
some
public
officials
have
to
take
to
avoid
a
grave
problem
in
the
future.
This
could
lead
to
some
misunderstandings
among
people.
In
such
times,
people
have
to
be
wise
enough
to
support
their
leader.
They
have
to
realize
that
the
same
yardstick
cannot
judge
every
situation.
Thus,
where
a
public
official
has
to
maintain
the
highest
moral
and
ethical
standards,
people
should
be
discrete
while
judging
their
leaders.
72. Critical
judgment
of
work
in
any
given
field
has
little
value
unless
it
comes
from
someone
who
is
an
expert
in
that
field.
Can
a
television
channel
appoint
a
professional
doctor
as
the
judge
for
one
of
its
reality
shows
that
is
based
on
a
salsa
dance
competition?
The
answer
is
obvious.
There
is
no
way
that
the
doctor
will
be
able
to
ascertain
the
winner
of
the
competition
unless
he
himself
is
aware
of
the
nuances
of
salsa
dancing.
The
modern
world
consists
of
numerous
self-proclaimed
critics
who
judge
work
in
any
given
field
irrespective
of
their
own
knowledge
in
that
field.
Such
judgment
is
utterly
useless,
unless
the
person
making
the
judgment
is
an
expert
in
the
field
to
which
the
work
being
judged
belongs.
If
you
browse
the
Internet
for
reviews
of
the
latest
released
movies,
you
will
find
numerous
web
sites
where
common
people
have
posted
reviews
of
the
movie.
Do
we
give
importance
to
the
comments
posted
on
such
blogs?
We
probably
do
not
give
much
importance
to
what
these
people
say
about
a
particular
movie
as
such
observations
are
largely
personal
opinions
and
they
may
have
to
do
nothing
with
the
actual
value
of
the
movie.
However,
we
give
due
credence
to
the
opinion
of
a
renowned
film
critic
who
may
appear
on
a
television
program
that
is
based
on
film
reviews.
The
observations
made
by
the
film
critic
may
change
our
93
perspective
on
the
movie
much
before
we
have
actually
seen
it.
Why
do
we
have
this
difference
in
accepting
the
views
presented
by
random
bloggers
and
those
presented
by
well-known
film
critics?
The
reason
behind
this
difference
in
acceptance
of
judgment
from
different
types
of
people
is
that
we
attach
a
higher
value
to
the
judgment
passed
by
people
who
are
proficient
in
the
same
field.
If
a
person
has
to
select
suitable
furniture
for
home
decor
that
falls
within
his
financial
budget,
where
would
he
look
for
sound
advice?
Would
he
just
ask
his
friends
randomly,
or
would
he
rather
ask
an
acquaintance
who
is
a
furniture
designer
himself?
This
designer
would
be
able
to
give
him
an
idea
about
how
much
the
furniture
should
ideally
cost
and
he
would
also
be
aware
of
the
names
of
commonly
known
furniture
dealers
and
the
amount
they
charge
for
the
furniture
marketed
by
them.
People
who
have
no
idea
about
furniture
designs,
quality
of
furniture
and
the
costs
involved
will
not
be
able
to
point
out
the
pros
and
cons
of
the
furniture
being
selected
by
this
person.
They
will
only
go
by
the
external
appearance
of
the
furniture
and
their
judgment
will
probably
not
have
any
value.
Contrast
this
with
a
person
who
is
a
seasoned
furniture
expert.
He
would
be
able
to
identify
the
type
of
wood
used,
its
durability,
termite
resistance
and
other
related
aspects,
which
have
to
be
considered
before
buying
the
furniture.
His
judgment
would
hold
much
more
value,
as
he
will
be
able
to
identity
the
actual
worth
of
the
furniture
with
respect
to
its
cost.
The
same
holds
true
for
critical
judgment
in
all
fields
whether
they
are
related
to
the
sciences
or
to
arts.
Only
the
science
teachers
of
the
school
can
do
the
judgment
for
the
best
school
science
project.
On
the
other
hand,
the
same
science
teachers
will
not
be
able
to
pass
valued
judgment
in
a
painting
competition.
They
may
be
able
to
judge
a
painting
by
its
face
value,
but
only
the
painting
teachers
can
judge
the
types
of
colors
and
brushes
that
should
have
ideally
been
used,
as
they
are
experts
in
that
particular
field.
Hence,
it
is
obvious
that
you
need
to
be
an
expert
in
a
particular
field
to
be
able
to
pass
valued
judgment
on
work
pertaining
to
that
field
73. Any
leader
who
is
quickly
and
easily
influenced
by
shifts
in
popular
opinion
will
accomplish
little.
The
most
important
characteristic
for
a
leader
is
that
he
should
be
consistent
in
his
thinking.
That
thinking
can
be
in
any
field
be
it
decision
making,
policymaking
or
even
his
principles
and
objectives.
If
a
leader
is
not
consistent
in
his
own
thinking
then
how
can
he
ever
think
about
other's
well
being?
It
is
very
important
for
a
leader
to
be
sure
and
consistent
in
whatever
he
does
because
if
others
decisions
quickly
influence
him
then
he
can
never
make
a
stand
for
himself.
Leaders
are
looked
upon
as
a
source
of
inspiration
and
if
they
are
not
principled
then
they
would
not
be
able
to
run
the
social
system
for
us.
Therefore,
it
is
essential
for
an
effective
leader
to
remain
consistently
committed
to
particular
principles
and
objectives,
as
the
leader
who
is
quickly
influenced
by
shifts
in
popular
opinion
will
not
accomplish
anything.
94
We
have
the
example
of
great
Gandhi
who
had
a
clear
vision
in
his
mind
from
the
very
beginning.
He
wanted
to
make
India
free
from
the
clutches
of
British
rule.
His
principles
of
non-violence
were
deep
rooted
in
his
thoughts.
Everyone
discouraged
him
thinking
how
he
could
ever
get
his
country
free
from
East
India
Company
but
his
belief
was
not
shattered
and
he
got
India
free
from
British.
The
leaders
with
clear
vision
can
not
only
achieve
their
aim
but
also
inspire
others
to
follow
their
path.
Gandhi
is
an
ideal
for
many
people
and
Indian
history
is
incomplete
without
his
description.
Similarly,
German
Nazi
dictator
Adolph
Hitler
is
another
example.
He
also
had
his
set
objectives
and
principles
and
he
has
made
a
niche
for
himself
in
history.
Although
it
is
very
important
for
a
leader
to
be
firm
with
his
principles
and
objectives
but
that
certainly
does
not
mean
that
he
becomes
fanatic.
If
a
situation
so
demands
then
he
should
be
ready
to
stake
his
principles.
That
does
not
mean
that
he
should
leave
them
forever.
Man
makes
principles
and
principles
do
not
make
a
man
therefore,
it
is
very
important
that
principles
should
be
flexible.
Sometimes
experiences
or
suggestions
of
others
should
also
be
given
importance
because
every
principle
is
not
applicable
everywhere.
At
certain
times
even
leaders
can
make
a
wrong
decision
and
to
avoid
such
circumstances
they
should
allow
people
to
put
across
their
views.
Having
flexibility
in
ones
principles
does
not
mean
changing
or
abandoning
the
principles.
Too
much
dependence
on
principles
can
also
make
a
leader
accomplish
little
because
rigidity
also
makes
a
person
less
progressive.
It
is
very
important
that
the
leader's
objectives
and
principles
are
integrated
in
the
correct
direction.
Therefore,
it
is
important
for
a
leader
to
be
clear
in
his
vision
about
his
principles
and
objectives,
as
then
only
will
he
be
able
to
do
justice
to
his
work.
At
the
same
time
a
leader
should
not
be
forgetting
the
importance
of
suggestions
from
others.
74. Governments
must
ensure
that
their
major
cities
receive
the
financial
support
they
need
in
order
to
thrive,
because
it
is
primarily
in
cities
that
a
nation's
cultural
traditions
are
preserved
and
generated.
The
author
claims
that
governments
should
ensure
that
their
major
cities
receive
the
financial
support
they
need
to
preserve
the
nation's
cultural
traditions.
However,
preserving
cultures
should
not
be
the
single
reason
to
develop
major
cities.
This
is
not
only
for
preservation
of
nation's
culture
but
also
for
the
reason
of
developing
the
whole
society.
There
is
no
doubt
that
major
cities
are
the
principal
force
when
constructing
a
healthy
country
and
their
development
directly
reflects
the
development
of
the
country.
Major
cities
primarily
generate
a
nations
cultural
traditions
and
make
it
famous
in
the
world.
However,
it
is
actually
towns
and
villages
where
cultural
traditions
originate
and
are
preserved
and
any
government
that
pays
attention
to
its
cultural
traditions
should
neither
neglect
nor
ignore
those
places.
Hence,
these
small
places
should
receive
equal
if
not
more
financial
support
than
major
95
cities.
The
culture
and
tradition
maintained
in
these
places
might
be
much
more
integrated
and
purer
than
in
counterpart
cities.
Therefore,
in
order
to
protect
their
cultural
traditions,
governments
should
support
tradition-based
towns
and
villages
rather
than
invest
a
lot
to
the
cities,
which
have
little
traditional
foundation.
For
example,
Hong
Kong
used
to
be
a
small
fishing
village
150
years
ago.
After
it
became
the
colony
of
the
Great
Britain,
Hong
Kong
has
developed
gradually
and
has
established
as
a
financial
center
in
Asia.
Therefore,
from
its
present,
nobody
can
assert
that
Chinese
cultural
traditions
are
generated
in
Hong
Kong.
Hong
Kong
developed
completely
according
to
the
style
of
the
capitalism
country,
during
the
reign
of
Britain,
although
the
majority
of
residents
were
Chinese,
who
are
known
for
preserving
their
culture
and
traditions.
The
Chinese
culture
is
not
preserved
in
Hong
Kong;
hence
there
is
no
point
in
providing
financial
support
to
Hong
Kong
just
for
the
culture's
sake.
However,
as
it
is
a
major
financial
and
shopping
hub,
it
attracts
people
from
all
over
the
world
and
it
is
a
great
source
of
revenue
for
the
government.
Hence,
the
government
of
China
has
to
patronize
it
to
maintain
its
importance.
While
major
cities
are
the
resource
of
one
country's
culture,
the
major
part
of
population
in
many
countries
lives
in
villages.
In
cities,
most
people
are
doing
salary-based
jobs
and
in
villages,
most
of
the
people
are
farmers.
The
government
of
a
country
has
to
take
care
of
both
the
sides
to
keep
balance
in
society.
To
construct
major
cities,
the
rural
places
should
not
be
ignored.
The
cultural
traditions
are
the
backbone
of
a
nation
and
they
should
be
preserved.
However,
major
cities
and
rural
areas
should
get
equal
attention
from
the
governments.
75. When
old
buildings
stand
on
ground
that
modern
planners
feel
could
be
better
used
for
modern
purposes,
modern
development
should
be
given
precedence
over
the
preservation
of
historic
buildings.
How
have
we
educated
ourselves
about
the
history
of
mankind?
It
is
through
the
historical
buildings
we
see
around
us
that
we
get
an
idea
of
how
our
forefathers
lived.
Heritage
buildings
and
other
forms
of
old
constructions
not
only
give
us
an
insight
into
the
living
conditions
of
the
past,
but
they
are
also
eye-openers
as
far
as
the
architecture
in
the
past
is
concerned.
However,
what
happens
when
these
old
buildings
occupy
land
that
can
be
effectively
utilized
for
some
modern
construction?
Instead
of
hastily
deciding
to
demolish
the
old
buildings
or
obstinately
sticking
to
not
letting
a
scratch
come
to
the
old
buildings,
the
best
solution
would
be
to
strike
a
balance
between
the
preservation
of
the
old
architecture
and
the
construction
of
buildings
designed
to
serve
modern
needs.
We
have
always
been
curious
to
unearth
the
secrets
behind
the
constructions
carried
out
in
the
past,
which
still
continue
to
baffle
all
of
us.
Stonehenge
in
Britain
is
one
the
world's
most
astounding
piece
of
architecture.
The
96
construction
of
the
Stonehenge
is
shrouded
in
mystery
and
man
has
only
been
able
to
speculate
as
to
how
it
may
have
been
constructed
in
the
age
when
there
were
hardly
any
construction
tools
available.
Take
the
example
of
the
Sphinx
and
the
Pyramids
of
Egypt,
which
are
yet
another
architectural
marvel.
These
pieces
of
architecture
have
served
the
purpose
of
throwing
light
on
the
lifestyles
of
ancient
civilizations.
Other
old
buildings
or
constructions
may
not
be
as
famous
or
as
baffling
as
the
examples
quoted
above,
but
each
old
building
provides
us
with
immense
information
related
to
our
forefathers.
Not
only
do
we
get
priceless
information
about
the
construction
techniques
in
the
past,
but
we
also
get
access
to
various
resources
that
help
us
understand
our
past.
It
is
obvious
that
demolishing
old
buildings
can
never
be
adjudged
as
the
correct
decision
no
matter
how
crucial
the
new
construction
is
for
the
present
society
because
demolishing
an
old
building
would
be
something
like
erasing
a
part
of
our
history.
There
are
numerous
examples
of
old
palaces,
forts
and
heritage
buildings
that
have
been
converted
into
luxury
hotels
that
house
shopping
malls
as
well.
The
architecture,
look
and
feels
of
the
original
buildings
have
been
retained
along
with
the
new
modern
constructions.
This
is
the
best
solution
wherein
an
old
building
has
not
been
completely
damaged
and
it
has
been
successfully
modified
into
a
building
that
serves
the
needs
of
the
present
society.
It
is
not
necessary
that
it
will
be
easy
to
strike
such
a
balance
in
the
case
of
every
such
controversy
where
a
modern
construction
and
an
old
building
are
concerned.
For
instance,
consider
a
case
wherein
oil
has
been
struck
in
the
land,
which
is
a
part
of
a
heritage
building.
Should
the
old
building
be
demolished
to
make
way
for
an
oilrig,
which
is
in
the
interest
of
the
nation,
or
should
the
government
preserve
the
heritage
building
and
ignore
the
oil
well
that
lies
below
it?
It
would
be
a
tough
decision,
but
the
government
will
have
to
find
a
solution
wherein
the
oil
can
be
pumped
out
without
any
damage
to
the
old
building.
The
past,
present
and
future
are
all
very
important
in
the
development
of
a
society.
No
society
can
afford
to
ignore
its
past
in
order
to
move
into
the
future.
The
society
should
carefully
strike
a
balance
wherein
it
is
able
to
preserve
its
past
while
being
able
to
attend
to
the
common
man's
needs
in
the
face
of
urbanization.
Therefore,
the
best
solution
would
be
to
find
a
solution
by
somehow
preserving
the
old
buildings
and
at
the
same
time,
allowing
the
new
constructions
also
to
come
up.

76. The
best
way
for
a
society
to
prepare
its
young
people
for
leadership
in
government,
industry,
or
other
fields
is
by
instilling
in
them
a
sense
of
cooperation,
not
competition.
Some
people
argue
that
successful
leaders
in
government,
industry,
or
other
fields
must
be
highly
competitive.
Other
people
claim
that
in
order
to
be
successful,
a
leader
must
be
willing
and
able
to
cooperate
with
others
When
a
young
child
is
brought
up,
there
are
numerous
things
he
has
to
be
taught,
many
of
which
are
conflicting.
While
one
has
to
learn
how
to
be
polite,
he
has
to
even
be
taught
how
to
be
adamant
when
it
is
so
required.
Where
compassion
for
all
human
beings
is
to
be
taught,
it
is
also
required
that
the
child
be
taught
how
to
stay
away
from
cons.
Bringing
up
a
child
and
preparing
him
to
be
a
good
leader
is,
thus,
very
challenging.
There
are
numerous
debates
and
discussions
on
whether
a
spirit
of
competition
is
more
beneficial
or
a
sense
of
cooperation
is
better.
In
my
view,
both
these
aspects
are
important
for
a
well-balanced
personality
to
develop.
Where
competition
is
required,
it
is
equally
important
to
learn
how
things
can
be
done
through
cooperation.
In
today's
competitive
world,
it
is
not
possible
for
all
of
us
to
make
our
mark.
It
is
only
those
few
who
are
motivated
and
capable
enough
that
make
a
place
for
themselves
in
society.
Such
people
finally
become
leaders
in
their
own
right
and
inspire
millions.
For
such
people,
the
motivation
can
come
from
any
source.
It
could
be
an
aspect
of
one's
personality
such
as
his
sense
of
competition,
compassion,
altruism,
self-confidence,
charity,
leadership,
intelligence,
passion,
greed,
jealousy,
pride
or
anything
else
that
could
be
the
reason
for
his
success.
A
true
leader
is
the
one
who
inspires
people
to
become
like
him.
For
instance,
if
we
were
to
choose
a
leader
from
the
past,
we
would
prefer
Mahatma
Gandhi
to
Hitler.
Gandhi
was
compassionate
where
Hitler
was
one
of
the
cruelest
people
ever.
His
pride
and
determination
led
to
his
success,
though
he
could
never
win
the
hearts
of
people.
Gandhi,
on
the
other
hand,
was
compassionate
towards
people.
He
spearheaded
the
Indian
independence
struggle
while
cooperating
with
people
of
different
sections
of
society
and
became
a
true
leader
of
masses
and
classes
alike.
He
continues
to
inspire
millions.
Cooperation
among
different
nations
is
a
major
reason
why
humankind
is
surviving.
Without
exchanging
our
raw
materials,
human
resources,
food,
medicines,
technology,
armies
etc.,
it
would
not
be
possible
for
any
country
to
sustain
itself.
Similarly,
political
parties
can
achieve
a
lot
if
they
cooperate
with
each
other
for
the
betterment
of
the
nation
as
a
whole,
though
this
is
very
difficult
to
achieve.
At
the
same
time,
it
is
equally
important
for
a
spirit
of
competition
to
remain
alive.
Great
sportsmen
insist
on
a
compelling
sense
of
competition
for
success.
In
fact,
many
sportsmen
provoke
themselves
by
some
means
or
the
other
to
develop
a
feeling
of
vengeance
towards
their
competitors.
Children
perform
much
better
if
there
is
healthy
competition
in
class.
A
bright
student
among
mediocre
classmates
might
never
strive
enough
because
of
lack
of
competition
and
challenges.
A
student
among
those
who
are
at
par
with
him
will
strive
to
98
beat
them
and
excel.
This
does
not
mean
that
such
competitive
students
should
not
cooperate
with
each
other.
The
challenge
here
is
to
teach
children
where
the
line
is
to
be
drawn.
In
the
name
of
cooperation,
one
should
not
be
cheated
and
for
the
sake
of
competition,
one
should
not
fill
one's
heart
with
contempt
and
vengeance.
It
is
not
the
sense
of
competition
or
cooperation
that
leaders
require,
but
the
judicious
use
of
these
aspects.
Though
it
is
difficult
for
these
two
qualities
to
co-
exist,
it
is
vital
nonetheless.
Healthy
competition,
wherever
it
exists,
leads
to
success
and
improvement.
Unhealthy
competition
will
always
result
in
degradation,
either
of
quality
or
of
morals.
We
should
thus
teach
our
young
people
how
to
respect
others,
cooperate
with
them
and
compete
for
improvement
of
their
own
selves.
77. Some
people
believe
that
corporations
have
a
responsibility
to
promote
the
well-being
of
the
societies
and
environments
in
which
they
operate.
Others
believe
that
the
only
responsibility
of
corporations,
provided
they
operate
within
the
law,
is
to
make
as
much
money
as
possible.
Corporations,
world
over
are
entitled
the
same
rights
as
a
person
and
therefore
undeniably
are
a
part
of
society
and
have
fundamental
accountability
towards
the
society
they
operate
in.
However,
corporations
are
created
and
organized
for
the
purpose
of
maximizing
returns
for
stockholders.
It
is
my
assertion
that
corporations
should
single-mindedly
pursue
this
goal,
operating
within
legal
limits,
and
if
contributing
to
the
society
has
a
direct
impact
on
their
top
line
they
should
take
up
the
opportunity.
The
CSR
debate
emanated
as
early
as
the
early
1900s
with
Dodge
vs
Ford
Motor
company
where
shareholders
filed
a
case
against
the
promoter
Henry
Ford
for
reducing
car
prices
in
order
provide
an
affordable
Ford
for
everyone
as
against
distributing
the
profit
as
dividends.
The
court
upheld
the
view
of
the
promoters
and
noted
that
the
power
of
the
executive
or
directors
cannot
be
used
to
redistribute
the
shareholder
funds
or
profits
for
other
purposes.
This
ruling
supports
my
opinion
with
regards
to
this
argument
under
debate,
primarily
due
to
a
very
simple
and
strong
logic
of
conflicting
objectives.
This
argument
essentially
highlights
the
dichotomy
a
corporation
functions
in
the
shareholder
theory
vs.
the
stakeholder
contention.
Being
an
entity
that
operates
within
the
throes
of
the
society,
an
organization
has
multiple
stakeholders
with
variegated
objectives
the
shareholders
are
interested
in
maximizing
their
wealth,
employees
require
higher
wages,
customers
demand
excellent
products
and
services
at
reasonable
prices
&
communities
demand
that
the
company
work
for
the
larger
interest
of
the
society.
It
highly
untenable
for
an
organization
to
pursue
multiple
objectives,
especially
those
representing
conflicting
interests
such
as
the
ones
highlighted
above.
Even
if
social
good
is
an
99
100
per
them
this
free
time
was
best
utilized
in
cogitating
and
discussing
about
the
purpose
of
life
and
seeking
by
ourselves
and
through
our
interaction
with
others
to
determine
our
own
individual
desires
from
life,
unfettering
us
from
the
established
norms
and
adding
a
richness
in
our
activities
and
personalities.
While
technological
innovations
such
as
the
automobile
and
computer
have
helped
us
speed
up
our
activities
considerably,
we
are
much
further
from
the
ideal
notion
of
leisure
than
our
ancestors.
Leisure
has
become
a
pejorative
and
is
only
justified
if
it
is
adding
to
the
amount
of
work
one
is
doing.
Working
holidays
have
replaced
holidays,
and
thanks
to
smart
phones
and
connectivity
people
are
expected
to
be
available
at
all
times.
Families
are
spending
far
lesser
time
communicating
with
each
other
with
each
member
of
the
household
being
occupied
with
one
or
another
form
of
technology
from
computers,
to
laptop,
to
smart
phones
and
TV.
Family
values
are
falling
apart
and
divorce
rates
are
significantly
going
up.
While
in
medieval
times
too
people
worked
from
morning
to
evening,
work
was
more
causal
and
people
took
off
time
for
social
chats
and
interactions.
However
in
todays
age,
sophisticated
technology
like
access
cards
and
employee
logs
are
employed
to
monitor
employee
activities
and
to
ensure
that
time
is
productively
invested.
The
bonds
in
earlier
times
were
more
personal
with
face-to-face
conversations
being
the
norm
instead
of
communication
largely
through
gadgets
and
software.
These
new
mediums
have
lead
to
dehumanizing
of
communication.
A
renowned
scientist
and
philosopher
noted
that
information
technology
supplies
communication
canned
or
frozen
and
can
in
no
way
match
the
art
of
dialogue
characterized
by
both
words
as
well
as
silence.
Advent
of
platforms
like
Facebook,
LinkedIn,
Skype
and
instant
messaging
services
like
Blackberry
messenger,
G-talk
have
undoubtedly
given
as
an
opportunity
to
stay
in
touch
with
friends
and
family
residing
miles
away
from
us
or
reconnect
with
those
we
had
lost
touch
with,
these
interactions
can
at
best
be
described
as
superficial
and
people
feeling
more
lonely
and
vacuumed
than
before.
To
take
a
slightly
tangential
view,
proliferation
of
media
technologies
has
also
impacted
the
time
people
take
out
for
themselves
and
their
families.
Stories
of
the
rich
and
successful
having
20
hour
days
with
each
minute
being
invested
in
work
related
activities,
mails
and
texts
from
colleagues
late
into
the
night
or
in
the
wee
hours
of
the
morning,
global
alliances
which
require
people
from
all
parts
of
the
world
to
work
according
to
the
time
of
the
client;
have
all
created
a
sense
of
insecurity
amongst
people.
Today
we
are
not
only
expected
to
be
available,
but
ourselves
wish
to
be
available
at
all
times
in
order
not
to
be
left
behind.
This
has
further
put
pressure
on
the
time
one
spends
in
interacting
with
others.
To
summarize,
while
the
function
of
technology
should
no
doubt
be
an
increase
in
leisure
time
helping
us
enrich
our
social
bonds,
in
truth
technology
has
lead
us
further
away
from
this
end.

79. Claim:
Major
policy
decisions
should
always
be
left
to
politicians
and
other
government
experts.
Reason:
Politicians
and
other
government
experts
are
more
informed
and
thus
have
better
judgment
and
perspective
than
do
members
of
the
general
public.
People
of
a
country
represent
the
worth
of
the
nation.
Different
nations
across
the
world
have
different
policies
for
running
their
government.
Where
in
some
nations
democracy
is
prevalent
on
the
other
hand
there
are
nations
where
autocracy
is
still
in
existence.
No
matter,
which
forms
of
government,
is
prevalent
in
a
country;
the
interest
of
the
people
of
that
country
cannot
be
overlooked.
The
will
of
the
people
in
a
democracy
is
very
importance
and
I
believe
they
have
all
the
right
also
to
take
part
in
all
the
decisions,
which
would
affect
their
interest
as
they
are
eventually
going
to
be
affected
by
it.
Therefore
the
major
policy
decisions
of
a
country
cannot
be
left
to
the
politicians
or
government
experts.
The
say
of
the
members
of
the
general
public
should
have
equal
weight
age
in
this
case.
Political
leaders
are
public
representatives
and
they
are
given
the
authority
and
responsibility
on
the
part
of
the
public
to
take
decisions.
A
political
leader
can
take
a
decision
to
construct
a
flyover
bridge
for
a
place
in
a
city
to
solve
the
problem
of
merging
traffic
in
a
particular
area.
The
construction
of
the
flyover
would
not
only
result
in
large
expenditure
but
it
can
also
leave
some
people
homeless
or
jobless
in
the
area
where
buildings
have
to
be
demolished
for
building
the
flyover.
It
could
be
quite
possible
that
the
city
must
be
in
more
need
of
a
school
rather
than
a
flyover
and
moreover
diverting
certain
traffic
from
that
area
can
also
solve
the
problem
of
merging
traffic.
These
issues
can
only
be
brought
to
the
notice
of
the
political
or
government
authorities
through
representatives
of
general
public.
These
members
would
not
only
convey
the
public
viewpoint
they
would
also
they
would
be
able
to
convince
public
in
regard
to
the
decision
made
by
the
government.
They
would
prove
to
be
an
effective
link
between
public
and
government
and
would
be
able
to
remove
major
conflicts
or
misunderstandings
from
both
the
fronts.
There
is
no
doubt
about
the
advantages
of
having
members
representing
general
public
as
it
is
in
the
favor
of
both,
the
public
and
government.
There
are
certain
matters
at
times,
which
can
not
be
discussed
with
public
in
open
as
it
could
lead
to
panic.
Such
situations
arise
during
wars
or
in
emergencies,
during
such
times
we
as
citizens
should
have
full
faith
in
the
decisions
of
our
political
and
government
officers
as
they
have
been
elected
by
us
and
are
our
true
well
wishers.
They
are
the
ones
who
have
the
responsibility
to
run
our
country
and
we
have
to
help
them
in
doing
so
and
not
prove
to
be
a
hindrance
in
their
way.
However,
it
should
also
be
the
responsibility
on
the
part
of
the
government
and
political
leaders
to
involve
the
general
public
in
making
decisions
related
to
them
whenever
it
is
possible
and
required.
102
It
is
difficult
for
both
the
government
and
the
public
to
work
and
perform
solely.
They
are
different
sides
of
the
same
coin
and
hence
inseparable.
They
are
incomplete
without
each
other
therefore
they
should
work
in
harmony.
80. It
is
more
harmful
to
compromise
one's
own
beliefs
than
to
adhere
to
them.
There
may
have
been
many
instances
in
our
lives
when
we
have
faced
the
dilemma
to
either
compromise
our
beliefs
or
to
adhere
to
them.
How
does
one
make
this
choice?
It
all
depends
on
your
principles
in
life.
You
can
choose
to
select
the
easier
way
out,
which
would
be
achieved
by
compromising
on
your
beliefs.
Adhering
to
your
beliefs
in
the
face
of
opposition
is
a
more
difficult
task.
Nevertheless,
irrespective
of
the
situation
you
are
in,
it
always
pays
out
in
the
end
to
adhere
to
your
beliefs.
At
the
first
glance
it
does
look
as
though
a
compromise
would
result
in
benefits,
but
in
the
longer
run
this
compromise
may
prove
to
be
harmful
not
only
to
your
image
but
also
to
your
subconscious.
However,
this
line
of
thought
holds
true
if
your
beliefs
conform
to
the
norms
laid
down
by
society,
otherwise
the
opposite
would
be
true,
that
is,
adhering
to
an
immoral
belief
will
be
harmful
for
you.
We
all
have
our
religious
beliefs
ingrained
in
us
since
childhood.
Everyone
is
taught
by
his
parents
and
his
community
to
carry
out
his
religious
practices
and
rituals.
If
you
belong
to
a
religion
where
you
are
not
permitted
to
have
non-
vegetarian
food,
would
your
sub-conscious
allow
you
to
have
a
chicken
burger
if
a
person
who
does
not
belong
to
your
community
offers
you?
Even
if
you
do
have
it,
what
will
be
the
repercussions?
The
effects
of
such
a
compromise
may
not
be
immediate,
but
they
are
bound
to
follow
up
as
you
move
ahead
in
life.
Your
community
may
ostracize
you,
your
parents
will
admonish
you
and
you
may
even
regret
it
later
on
in
life.
Therefore,
the
better
option
would
be
to
politely
refuse
the
offer
and
adhere
to
your
religious
beliefs.
Adhering
to
your
beliefs
will
rarely
lead
to
any
harm
unless
your
belief
does
not
conform
to
the
norms
of
society.
If
you
are
of
the
belief
that
there
is
nothing
wrong
in
taking
bribes
and
you
choose
to
adhere
to
your
beliefs,
then
it
is
obvious
that
this
will
be
extremely
harmful
for
you
in
the
long
run.
However,
if
you
are
of
the
strong
opinion
that
one
should
never
accept
bribery
and
you
have
chosen
to
be
honest
in
your
profession,
then
compromising
your
belief
will
definitely
land
you
into
trouble.
Patriots
who
stuck
to
their
beliefs
that
their
country
should
be
free
from
the
clutches
of
an
imperialistic
power
succeeded
in
freeing
their
country.
The
freedom
struggle
of
India
is
one
such
example.
Could
this
have
been
possible
if
the
freedom
fighters
had
compromised
on
their
beliefs?
This
compromise
would
have
weakened
their
principles
and
they
would
not
have
had
the
strength
to
fight
against
all
odds
for
the
freedom
of
their
country.
103
Your
beliefs
define
who
you
are.
Your
identity
and
image
are
shaped
by
the
beliefs
that
you
follow
in
life.
It
is
necessary
to
be
flexible
also
in
life,
but
wherever
a
choice
has
to
be
made
between
right
and
wrong;
one
should
always
follow
the
right
path
irrespective
of
what
your
beliefs
are.
If
your
beliefs
are
morally
correct,
then
adhering
to
your
beliefs
cannot
harm
you,
but
if
your
beliefs
are
in
contrast
to
those
of
the
society,
then
adhering
to
your
beliefs
may
land
you
in
big
trouble.
Therefore,
it
is
imperative
that
you
choose
your
beliefs
carefully
and
adhere
to
them
if
you
want
to
keep
out
of
harm's
way.
81. Claim:
Colleges
and
universities
should
specify
all
required
courses
and
eliminate
elective
courses
in
order
to
provide
clear
guidance
for
students.
Reason:
College
studentslike
people
in
generalprefer
to
follow
directions
rather
than
make
their
own
decisions.
Research
indicates
that
the
primary
reason
for
burnout
in
the
work
place
is
neither
monetary
nor
stress
related,
but
a
feeling
of
impuissance.
The
same
is
true
for
people
across
all
age
groups
and
in
all
contexts.
It
then
is
incorrect
to
say
that
people
prefer
to
follow
directions
and
use
that
as
the
foundation
to
base
the
decision
of
dictating
the
course
to
the
students,
instead
of
giving
them
the
freedom
to
choose.
Studies
across
a
cross
section
of
settings
have
proven
that
an
individuals
physical
and
emotional
wellbeing
is
directly
proportional
to
the
sense
of
control
they
feel
over
their
situations.
Patients
in
nursing
homes
are
shown
to
recover
faster,
cases
of
depression
and
anxiety
are
seen
to
be
far
lesser
and
positive
behavior
such
as
a
desire
to
learn
and
improve
oneself
is
reinforced
in
a
person
who
has
the
autonomy
to
take
his
own
decisions.
Given
this
insight,
it
would
be
counter-productive
to
instruct
students
on
what
they
should
study.
It
would
kill
the
students
drive
and
cause
them
to
become
dull
and
listless
people
who
are
simply
complying
with
guidelines
given
to
them.
Another
implication
is
that
such
a
policy
would
immure
students
into
a
mould
where
they
are
looked
less
as
individuals
and
more
as
products
that
an
educational
institute
is
mass-producing
for
the
society.
It
relegates
individual
preference
to
the
background
and
disenfranchises
students
of
their
power
of
decision-making.
This
effect
becomes
so
deeply
entrenched
that
individuals
often
lose
their
ability
to
make
decisions
and
is
a
phenomenon
that
is
manifested
through
ones
life
and
people
are
often
unable
to
think
for
themselves
or
have
the
confidence
to
take
a
position.
An
individual
who
has
through
his
entire
initial
period
of
development
has
been
stopped
from
taking
decisions,
cannot
be
104
expected
as
an
adult
to
break
out
of
these
shackles
and
transform
into
someone
who
can
cut
the
Gordian
knot.
Longitudinal
studies
also
show
that
students
who
were
given
considerable
freedom
in
deciding
various
aspects
of
their
schooling
performed
better
as
they
grew
older.
This
is
also
corroborated
by
observation
of
students
from
Sudbury
Schools,
a
much
higher
percentage
of
who
go
on
to
enroll
in
college
than
their
counterparts
in
closely
monitored
schools.
The
problem
should
also
be
considered
from
the
aspect
that
every
field
differs
in
its
orientation
and
straight
jacketing
education
does
not
yield
results.
An
individual
who
wants
to
go
on
to
join
the
corporate
world
in
a
managerial
capacity
would
need
to
have
solid
grounding
in
subjects
like
economics,
finance,
leadership
and
decision
making
amongst
others.
An
artist
on
the
other
hand
need
not
have
an
aptitude
for
economics,
but
for
the
different
styles
and
variations
in
art,
a
deep
understanding
of
colors
and
moods
etc.
Even
within
the
same
field
of
study,
symmetry
cannot
be
said
to
exist.
An
artist
might
choose
to
focus
on
medieval
art
while
another
might
be
keener
on
the
aspects
of
modern
art
while
there
would
be
an
overlap
of
a
few
core
subjects,
a
large
part
of
the
curriculum
would
need
to
be
customized.
It
would
be
impossible
to
prefabricate
course
structure
for
each
individual
preference
and
would
be
far
more
logical
and
economical
to
let
students
choose
their
strands
of
study
based
on
their
preferences.
Opposing
views
to
the
above
thinking
are
not
completely
unfounded.
It
is
likely
that
students
might
not
have
the
experience
or
vision
that
adults
have
and
would
need
some
structure
to
be
able
to
decide
what
they
want
to
do
or
should
do
based
on
their
aptitude.
The
best
course
would
then
be
to
provide
guidelines
or
framework
and
also
counsel
students
based
on
their
interests.
The
debate
however
is
not
whether
students
should
be
given
completely
autonomy
but
whether
they
should
be
completely
devoid
of
any
freedom
to
take
their
decisions.
From
the
points
highlighted
above,
it
is
clear
that
depriving
students
of
this
power
would
have
severe
implications
on
their
performance
both
in
the
short
and
the
long
run
and
would
additionally
also
be
detrimental
to
the
society.
82. No
field
of
study
can
advance
significantly
unless
it
incorporates
knowledge
and
experience
from
outside
that
field.
The
claim
made
in
the
argument
is
that
a
field
of
study
is
most
benefited
when
it
draws
from
interdisciplinary
knowledge.
I
am
in
agreement
with
this
viewpoint
and
would
defend
my
opinion
based
on
three
key
points
people
have
contributed
significantly
to
fields
in
which
they
had
limited
exposure,
people
working
in
one
field
are
likely
to
make
mistakes
that
a
person
with
a
fresh
perspective
can
point
out,
whole
new
frontiers
could
be
traversed
by
crossing
105
two
different
fields
of
knowledge
which
would
also
have
a
bearing
on
solving
social
problems.
Let
us
take
the
example
of
Bill
Gates,
an
entrepreneur
par
excellence
who
spent
a
substantial
portion
of
his
life
in
the
IT
industry.
Post
his
voluntary
retirement
he
decided
to
dedicate
his
life
to
philanthropic
causes
primarily
in
the
area
of
health,
a
field
in
which
he
had
little
exposure
or
theoretical
grounding.
But
despite
what
might
popularly
be
considered
a
handicap,
or
perhaps
because
of
it,
the
foundation
has
been
able
to
make
significant
contribution
to
the
improvement
of
health
initiatives
in
third
world
countries.
Bill
Gates
drew
heavily
from
this
experience
as
a
businessman
in
creating
a
new
field,
that
of
philanthrocapitalism,
and
has
been
able
to
alleviate
some
of
the
ills
that
dogged
the
philanthropic
community
scalability,
accountability,
evaluating
success
and
raising
funds.
It
was
his
perspective
as
an
outsider
that
enabled
him
to
view
the
field
afresh,
to
challenge
the
status
quo
and
look
for
solutions
to
problems
that
ailed
the
field.
When
one
spends
a
majority
of
their
time
working
on
the
same
thing,
it
often
becomes
a
blind
spot
and
even
established
experts
are
unable
to
subvert
this
problem.
However
when
fresh
ways
of
thinking
and
knowledge
from
other
fields
in
imbibed,
the
problem
reveals
itself
and
is
followed
by
a
solution
that
enriches
the
field
more
than
before.
An
example
of
this
is
the
problem
confounding
the
scientific
community
with
regards
to
the
molecular
structure
on
an
enzyme
in
a
breed
of
monkeys
that
is
known
to
cut
proteins
from
an
AIDS
like
virus.
The
puzzle
when
presented
to
lay
people
as
an
online
game
was
cracked
in
less
than
10
days!
Another
defense
for
the
importance
of
cross
disciplinary
knowledge
is
that
new
fields
of
study
could
be
created
at
the
hybrid
intersection
of
existing
fields.
Studies
on
extra
terrestrial
life
forms
are
one
such
example,
which
necessarily
require
an
understanding
of
both
astronomy
and
biology.
The
field
would
be
able
to
make
little
headway
in
the
absence
of
knowledge
of
even
one
of
these
areas.
Learnings
from
this
field
of
study
could
have
important
implications
for
humanity
and
have
the
potential
to
attenuate
our
problems
or
compound
them.
But
in
either
case
an
absence
of
knowledge
would
be
far
more
harmful.
Opponents
however
argue
that
independent
fields
of
study
are
likely
to
advance
faster,
when
an
attempt
is
not
being
made
to
solve
all
problems
at
one
go.
They
argue
that
a
possible
solution
is
not
presented
until
it
satisfies
the
beliefs
of
experts
of
all
the
fields,
which
could
be
a
daunting
task.
For
instance
the
evolutionary
science
is
severely
restricted
because
it
contradicts
religious
sentiments
and
beliefs.
This
behavior
however
is
akin
to
The
Ostrich
myth
and
one
needs
to
realize
that
ignoring
a
problem
would
not
make
the
problem
go
away.
In
conclusion
there
is
much
to
be
gained
when
different
fields
of
knowledge
intersect
and
work
together
to
solve
problems.
Significant
gains
are
likely
when
an
esoteric
view
is
adopted.

83. True
success
can
be
measured
primarily
in
terms
of
the
goals
one
sets
for
oneself.
The
author
asserts
that
true
success
is
not
an
extrinsic
phenomenon
but
an
intrinsic
one
and
success
can
be
best
measured
based
on
the
goals
one
has
defined
for
oneself.
I
largely
endorse
the
authors
view
and
believe
that
the
definition
of
success
cannot
be
straightjacketed,
instead
it
varies
from
person
to
person
depending
on
what
they
are
striving
towards.
Few
words
are
as
elusive
to
a
definition
as
success
and
while
there
have
been
attempts
to
define
proxies
to
measure
success;
they
have
found
little
endorsement
from
a
cross
section
of
people.
One
of
the
oft-used
proxies
for
success
is
richness
and
society
is
quick
to
label
the
wealthy
as
successful
ideals
that
humanity
must
aspire
towards.
However
would
wealth
be
a
good
aspiration
for
a
majority
of
the
world
population
that
is
living
below
the
poverty
line?
Would
it
be
good
yardstick
to
measure
the
grit
and
determination
of
people
in
war
torn
countries
like
Afghanistan,
whose
biggest
achievement
could
be
characterized
as
their
sense
of
hope
and
their
ability
to
move
on
despite
all
odds?
Or
to
the
malnourished
populations
in
Somalia
who
feel
a
sense
of
victory
if
they
can
provide
four
square
meals
to
their
family
in
a
day?
The
definition
of
success
then
changes
depending
on
the
circumstances
of
the
individual
and
only
an
internal
benchmark
could
be
used
to
evaluate
performance.
While
objective
externally
defined
criteria
present
a
metric,
they
often
fail
to
motivate
people
as
much
as
self
defined
individual
goals.
Motivation
serves
as
the
basis
to
impel
people
towards
hard
work
and
persistence,
both
of
which
are
essential
for
true
success.
In
fact
drive
and
doggedness
have
the
power
to
subvert
all
else
making
people
pursue
their
goals
single-mindedly.
Even
supposed
failures
do
not
present
a
roadblock
then,
as
proven
by
personalities
across
the
spectrum
from
Henry
Ford,
to
Abraham
Lincoln
and
Oprah
Winfrey.
All
these
people
were
able
to
overcome
their
circumstances
because
they
had
an
internal
benchmark
they
had
defined
for
themselves,
not
because
someone
required
them
to
do
it.
Another
constraint
that
externally
defined
measures
of
success
presents
is
that
they
do
not
take
into
consideration
the
ever-evolving
nature
of
internally
defined
goals.
Goals
a
person
defines
for
oneself
undergo
transitions
as
a
person
grows
and
develops
and
additionally,
past
laurels
do
not
immure
internal
goals.
If
Bill
Gates
believed
that
being
the
wealthiest
man
in
the
world
was
the
ultimate
manifestation
of
success,
he
would
not
have
chosen
to
start
a
foundation
that
today
is
making
significant
contributions
in
changing
health
concerns
that
plague
a
majority
of
the
worlds
population.
Maslows
need
hierarchy
theory
states
that
self-actualization
goals
are
at
the
pinnacle
driving
people
to
solve
previous
conundrums.
From
the
above
it
is
evidenced
that
externally
defined
measures
of
success
pose
more
questions
than
answers
and
fail
on
many
counts
as
a
means
to
celebrate
the
success
of
people.
It
is
only
when
outcomes
are
measured
against
individual
determinations,
can
the
true
success
of
an
individual
be
ascertained.

Making
university
and
college
level
education
free
will
be
beneficial
neither
for
the
government
nor
for
the
citizens
in
the
long
run.
Thus,
instead
of
making
the
university
education
free,
the
government
should
adopt
other
ways
of
channelizing
the
talents
of
the
youth
and
also
keep
a
check
on
private
institutions
overburdening
the
students
by
high
fee
structure.
